Im looking for some advice on when to make my next career move. I’m in a Director position at a non profit, coming up on 3 years. Before this I have 7 years experience as a Director at another non profit. I’m leaning toward moving into the for profit space and I have either a senior position or into the VP space. I’m 40 years old. My original goal was to stay where I am for 5 years then attempt to make a jump.

Any thoughts on timing/plan? Thx for the feedback!

Three years is a solid amount of time at one place before making a jump. It’s very understandable if you’re able to explain it as a move to make a higher salary. A lateral jump (same pay, same title, same industry) isn’t as compelling as moving into an entirely new industry at the same salary and title.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m certainly looking for a salary jump and a move up in role. I’ll have to do some research around that.
