How long should we be staying at one firm? Is it three years and then bounce? I hate job hunting, but I've been at my firm for 3 1/2 years without a promotion. I'm starting to think I'm hurting my career by staying here.

I don’t think that is a we question. Everyone has a different situation

Depends on your personal goals and situation. I've been in one place for 20 years. My personal goals are to have as much flexibility as possible, while contributing to my firm, serving my clients, and making a fair paycheck. My goals are not focused on maximizing my salary or personal successes. Some people do really well for themselves by gaining experiencing at multiple companies, which sometimes come with nice pay bumps....but they're also starting over each time with relationships and trust.

I have to admit that I wasn't terribly impressed by the virtual Co-Lo for Digital. The exception to that, though, was David's insightful comment that leadership knows and expects that many of us are struggling to come back from the pandemic, and it's okay to ask for help and or take a leave. Digital culture, and how we are real and take care of each other, is just AMAZING. That speech alone made me so proud to be here and turned around a lot of my negative thoughts.
