I wouldn't leave my job in the next year. I got laid off in 2022 and still looking for an FT role. The job market is the worst than I have ever experienced.

Curious on why a year. Vesting schedule? Bonus? Market?

Title bump makes sense. I guess depending on your level, you may consider when competition increases. FY cycles, MBA/MS grad seasons, etc. At our firm, exits tend to take place after the yearly performance bonuses are paid out (June 1st). Also, you may consider how new administration could impact the market and companies who may wait to see how things normalize.

Keep an eye on the job market. I'd say, in 6 to 8 months, if the market is still just as flooded, start looking then. It may take a while to get a position. If the market has cleared up, I would wait a little while, but still put feelers out.
