Do you still keep an eye on jobs out there, even if you are not actively looking to get a new role? I somehow feel like I'm doing wrong by my agency when I even think about it but on the other hand, I know they wouldn't bat an eye if they decide to lay me off. Do you ever apply and interview for jobs just to get a sense of what else is out there? If yes, do you have a regular schedule on how you do it? I’ve never tried this, but I’m considering it and wanted to know how others approach it.

Always. There are a million lists, from LinkedIn on. They all have various levels of reliability. But if nothing else, it’s a good barometer of the industry.

Yes, I try to apply for a job or two every month. There's no harm to it and like you said, your company doesn't owe you anything so it works the same way around. I've gotten interviews for some that I've applied to and it helps to get a sense of how other companies function.

It never hurts to keep an eye out. And keep an updated resume ready to go! I don’t really apply and interview unless I am without a doubt serious about the job. Think it is in our best interest to know what else is out there and seriously consider better opportunities too!

Always!

Not really, I'm way too busy with my own job.

I am always looking even when I am not really looking if that makes sense. I think its always good to see what else is out there and keep your eyes peeled for something better. I have done interviews and not taken roles just to see if there is something better out there.

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
