Cushman & Wakefield Interested in a Sales Associate position at Cushman & Wakefield. I have experience as a government analyst for 7 years but nothing related to commercial real estate. I want to become a more competitive applicant but not sure where to start. Are there any certificates, skills, or knowledge that I should be learning in my free time?

100% job hopping. And each hop will increase your comp. If I’d stayed at my first job and just learned more there, I’d only be at MAYBE $100k after 5 years (started at $75k). But since I hopped a lot, I’m now at $220k. Hopping is always the answer
Hard disagree when it comes through learning. It takes close to a year to truly ramp up in any org. For salary increase though job hopping is the way
Job hopping all day, more exposure to more kinds of client work makes you better at your role, and the pay bumps are significantly faster and better staying in one company
Breath <> depth though I agree the answer isn't staying at one company forever
I agree, job hopping is really the best way to learn more and stay on top of whatever is happening in your field. I always try to stay somewhere for 3-5 years depending on what opportunities are available to me, then Iw ill start to look for a new position to make sure I don't get complacent and am always learning.
Job hopping and it's not even close. Consulting is already a career accelerator because you touch so many more types of projects and normally work cross-vertical. If you go firm to firm it's a lot of work buts the easy button to career acceleration for the jump to industry.
I'm surprised by everyone's answers here, I feel like it's a balance of staying long enough to actually get a grasp on things and then job hopping every 3-5 years to keep expanding your knowledge. But I wouldn't say job hopping more frequently than 3-5 years is recommended. You need to stay long enough to acutally learn something
This is the right answer. I think even 3 years is too short of building knowledge/deep skills.
