Career mobility seems to get talked about a lot, but in practice it can feel unclear whether moving roles, teams, or specialties actually accelerates growth or just resets your progress, especially when stability and experience both matter, so how do you personally decide when it’s time to stay and deepen your skills versus make a move?

When I made a move it was because I realized there wasn't much chance for advancement where I was. Conventional wisdom says you can raise your compensation by moving every so many years, but I'm not sure that's such a great idea. Moving with a purpose like growth seems like a better strategy than just chasing a raise.

I agree with this. My current position I have been able to grow and develop consistently for several years. Other places seeing no growth I abandoned ship after a shorter period of time

I’ve been doing ID for about 2 years now. Mostly slip and fall and WC work. Long-term, I want to move out of ID. I’m currently interviewing at a firm that does ID, but mostly does insurance coverage opinions. They also do some more complex ID, such as L&E.

With the ultimate goal of moving completely out of ID, would this be seen as a step up? I appreciate any and all feedback. TIA

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...

What should I do ??
