How long do you think you should stay at a job before moving on? Some say 2-5 years is the sweet spot to grow without feeling stuck, but is there really a “right” time to leave? Maybe it’s when you’ve stopped learning, found a better opportunity, or just need a change. What do you think—when do you know it’s time to move on?

This hasn’t been my experience, I’m used to Art Directors and Designers having separate career paths. However, I’m trying to keep an open mind. Is this org structure familiar to to anyone else? If so, has it been effective? Thanks in advance!

Additional Posts in VC and Early Stage Investing

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?
