Is it bad to leave a job in less than a year? I’m at an agency with nice people, supportive, care about growth, etc But I feel that I’m not making book worthy pieces because our clients are so stale and don’t want to do anything fun. Or kill everything right before production. I feel like I’m wasting away.

You should leave. At the and of the day, the only thing you have is the work you’ve made. So if you’re not making anything good, you gotta go to place where you are.

One time, I was given a promotion after months of empty promises, but told that the raise had to come later as part of a different cycle. During that cycle, there was another excuse as to why a raise couldn’t happen. After enough empty promises, I found another job. In my goodbye email, the HR team still used my original job title because paperwork was never submitted for the promotion. It was all a farse.

Don’t take empty promises. Either they give you something, or they don’t. Now is now. I’d bounce.

I’d say leave. I stayed at a company for far too long because the people were nice, etc. But now I’m realizing how underpaid I was and how dry my book was. Do what feels best for you and your career.

What if the new job is only offering me the same pay as my current job (I’m on the high end senior side) but with more benefits and creative opportunities?

Unemployment is very low, and competition for skilled jobs is high. Find a company that values your work and pays you accordingly. Nice doesn’t pay bills.

There are “nice” people everywhere but good work is hard to find. I’d go after the opportunity to make good work every time.

Thank you everyone

No, I don't think it is bad. I have been somewhat of a job hopper. And employers honestly don't think twice about hiring me.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?
