Do you think it’s a better look on your resume to get a promotion at the company you are currently at, or move to a new company with a higher title? Does it matter?

I do take it into consideration if I get a resume and see that a candidate never got promoted where they are and always got the promotion by moving. It’s not a deal breaker alone though and not a reason to forgo an opportunity if you think it’s great for you. Especially if you have shown progress where you are before, I wouldn’t worry about it over moving for a promotion once.

I think that is flawed for the last 15 years, especially if they are coming from a holding company. Promotions are hard to come by. Often screwing long term careers. I ask more about the work and role vs titles

Its always nice to see promotions at a place - it shows their current place appreciates their work. I do like to see some longevity at a single place as well.

Same comment as above. We all know holding companies are making it harder to get promoted. Often giving work but not title and money. Sometimes holding the title bc it makes it harder to interview. Not sure that shows the value of the employee or the culture of the company they are trying to leave.

In advertising it’s hard to get a promotion most ppl have to jump to grow

like

Right. Which is why I’m inquiring about it.

I look more at the length of positions vs where the advancement happened. If someone got promoted last month and is now trying to sell me like they’re super experienced at that level, it’s a bucket of red flags. Likewise if they’ve not advanced for a while

Knowing how this industry works, seeing person with higher job titles because they move around every few years doesn’t tell me anything other than the person is looking for more money and a better title. It no longer means they necessarily deserve that title.

And because agency are failing at keeping people in agencies. We did it to ourselves.

I don’t always put every title I had at a job on my resume - usually just the most recent. I’d never even considered if people think much about this. Longevity is more of a factor. I don’t want to hire someone who leaves after a year or sometimes less just for promotions or money.

Internal promotions are far more rare and, I would say, impressive. Which is not to say a title promotion through moving jobs is ever going to be bad.
