Hi, Ia m from the U.K. - I graduated from University in 2022, I have done an internship internationally, and been in Sales for 1 year and 2 months. I got promoted from being an SDR to a Account Executive in 3 months. I then got promoted to a Wholesale Account Manager. I'm looking for a new job, what would your advice be?

So in the space of 14 months you're on your 3rd role? From the promotions, it appears your employer likes you and is investing in you.

1) why are you looking for a new job?
2) how would you explain to a potential employer your lack of commitment and how you're repaying your current company for promoting you?

If I'm interviewing you, I see someone with potential who's been rewarded, but that's outweighed by the risk you represent. I onboard you, give you accounts, and then have to manage a flighty employee who wants a promotion after a few months or is looking for a move after only a year.

Hello, I am from canada. I have 10years experience in Customers Service Representative, Marketing and Sales representative in banking sector.

OP it wouldn't hurt to start applying to roles that you hav an interest in and seeing what kinds of calls you get. The market for jobs right now is not great so I would start getting your resume out there if I were you.
