How many years should I stay at a company before I leave to not look bad on a resume? Am an entry level PM ( 2 YOE) and my company is overall fine, but I’m pretty underpaid and it isn’t really my area of interest. It’s also a 50 mile commute (very HCOL) and I’d kind of like to leave, but I’ve only been here 1.5 years. Is that way too soon?

No one counts anymore. Life is short, find the job that you don’t hate going to everyday.

It doesn’t matter, especially early in your career. As long as you frame it correctly nobody will fault you for pursuing a better fit. Go for it and look for a new role.

Switch to another team in the company. 1.5 years isn't too short as long as you have other long term positions

Does anyone have the 2020 SHRM books for sale or to borrow? My job won’t contribute towards my certification. I’ve already paid for my test. I have the books from 2015 but I’d like to study from the 2020. I tried finding them online to purchase but sellers of affordable books aren’t responding.

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
