No but it all depends on your long term goals. Nothing wrong with staying at a company long term if you like the company, enjoy the work, are paid fairly, and the career path is in line with what you want.

Also if there is upward mobility nothing wrong there.

I would say no. Job hopping always come with the risk of instability.

No. It depends on your situation. I've seen people job hop and find great opportunities. I've also seen people job hop and be more miserable at each place. If you're in a good situation, don't leave just for the sake of leaving. But if there is something else you want to try then go for it. Personally, I've been at the same place for 15+ years and still enjoy what I do and have flexibility. I don't think its likely I'd have as good of a situation anywhere else.

If it’s a waste to stay at a company for 5+ years than many people wasted their careers

No. Nothings a waste if you can afford to live the life you want.

Definitely not a waste, especially because we’re approaching a bear market (s&p down 19%). Job market is strong but many finance professionals think we’re heading toward a minor recession.

Physician Assistant salaries in the Chicago Area? I’ve practiced at an AMC for 5.5 years and make around 116k salary. Outpatient surgical sub specialty, but the same salary “formula” as my previous role in urgent care in the same system. Another AMC offered me 124k 9 months ago for a similar role - which I turned down due to some red flags during interviews. Recently got a 10k retention bonus when I voiced my intent to leave but still feel underpaid as I’m literally keeping my practice afloat.

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
