Do you think loyalty is still valued in the corporate world? Early in my career, I was advised to stay loyal and avoid switching jobs too often, as it could signal a lack of commitment to future employers. But in the recent years, it seems like job-hopping for better pay or opportunities doesn’t carry the same stigma. Would love to hear your perspective? Do you think job-hopping is a smart career move, or is loyalty still something companies value and reward?

I think job hopping is looking more attractive all the time. I don’t think loyalty is valued any longer. After almost 25 years I think there is longevity bias. There are no to very low increases in wages and bonuses. I have friends who after very long careers, moved companies and have been successfully moving jobs every two years. They are happy and enjoying higher pay with each job.

That’s a really valid point. It’s tough seeing others get ahead by switching jobs while loyalty doesn’t seem to pay off the same way. It’s definitely making me rethink the whole “stay and grow” mindset.

It was a different time when I started my career, the advice to stay loyal was good advice back then. Now though, totally different. I see people having to make external changes to get any kind of decent pay bump. I do still worry that it’ll be looked down on, yet if I can go to another company and make more, that isn’t doing me any harm, just stay put until I find it.

Yes, loyalty used to mean stability and rewards, but now it seems like moving around is the fastest way to grow. It’s tough finding that balance between sticking it out and knowing when it’s time to make a change.

My new job occasionally requires me to review vendor agreements. I don’t have any background in this area and am trying to get up to speed. My department doesn’t have a document management system, so it’s tough to find old agreements as precedent. Any recommendations for books or other sources - or any words of wisdom? Thanks!

Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!
