I usually go with 1 year minimum but that’s just me, if you’re not happy or underpaid i think it’s perfectly acceptable to see what’s out there and look around.

I think people generally move on every 12-24 months so you should be good. Go get that money 💰 ❤️

The only time i ever question is when i receive candidates to interview that have multiple 2-4 month stints on their resume. That makes me question if they were let go or get bored easily.

You’d want to get a couple projects for the portfolio first. If you got a few, and it’s been 2+ years or so, and you’re getting a lil bored, and you find you can get a big money jump, it’s probably time.
