I have been at my current company for 6 years (7 months in new role) and was recently contacted by a recruiter at a new software firm. I entertained learning more about the firm because 1- During training I found out that the new hire salary was more than 25k more than mine and 2- General interest

Is 7months too soon to leave my current role?
I'm torn on leaving as I FINALLY have a good cadence with my clients and support teams.
I would be transitioning from Telecom to SaaS, both Sales.

Always be interviewing. Worst case scenario it doesn’t work out or you’re just not interested in the role. Best case scenario you get an amazing offer at a company that values you more than your current one. You have nothing to lose.

Thank you for your input. I do have to remember that the ball is in my court.

ALWAYS take the interview, if it doesn’t work it it’s still very good practice. People job hop because of money. Questions to ask yourself would be: 1. Will this role benefit me in the future? 2. What new skills can I learn? 3. Benefits, PTO etc.

Companies aren’t loyal to its employees. In my opinion you have to do what you have to do.

What advise do you have moving forward with a career. I left my employer after18 yrs in June. my boss was laid off before covid, they didnt post his job for 2 years. I ran the site for that time, received many accolades. When it posted i got no interview. In June a company made an offer for same money for board director I took it. Turns out they were pitching lies. They had no integrity and were incompetent. I left this month. I haven’t been out of a job 25 years. How do I pick myself back up?

So I just had an interview at a small non-consulting firm (real estate lending) where the guy actually went on a political rant. First round interview, too.

Small firms are not what they're cracked up to be as far as work environment. They had a giant St. Bernard as a sort of "office mascot", you'd think they'd be chill and laid back. But it can also lead to breaches of professionalism that can make an office toxic if you're not cut from the same cloth as the owners...
