Is 1YOE way too soon to start looking for jobs? What would you say is the minimum number of years for cool opportunities to start becoming accessible?

No, but don’t be surprised if most of the job opportunities you get are pretty shitty. Things start to improve a lot when you get your first promo and/or hit 2 YOE.

Why would you want to jump ship

Depends on the firm, but in this economy you may be stuck at entry level salary for 2-3 years unless you change jobs

More like 2-3 years at least, earlier than that and you just find entry level stuff

Always keep your eyes open for cool opportunities, I switched at 1YOE myself

From where? I am one promotion in and just applied to BCG so anxious about not having heard back yet (just finished the pymetrics a few days ago lol so i know I shouldn’t have heard yet, BUT) and just want answers

You can always apply but a year is short in tune eyes of most recruiters, especially if you're still early in your career so you'll probably find you have to work a lot harder to get opportunities that are not as good than if you try again in a year or so.

I been trying to get into the cloud administrator side of tech for about a year.
