Is looking for a new job after 1 year in a lower position a bad look for a resume? My rent is about to sky rocket and I can’t afford not to look for a promotion.

If someone will hire you and give you more money and you’ll be happy there is never a reason not to do it.

If you like your current job, have you talked to your manager about what it will take to hit your desired salary and your timeframe? So many people just assume that the option isn’t there and the manager is surprised when they leave. If the job is good other than the salary, have an honest conversation—you might be surprised.

One year is fine. I left after 1 year and 5 months but many of my former coworkers left closer to the 1 year mark and are happy with the decision/raise. I think moving around is common in an early career.

Agree with @Stephanie Padgett. Make sure you’ve exhausted every opportunity where you are before looking to leave.

Also, and apologies if you already know this, but make sure you frame any discussions with a future employer about the value you can contribute being greater than the opportunity you currently have. I’ve been surprised by how many people will tell their managers or a prospective employer that they need a raise because their cost of living has gone up, instead of making a business case for why they’re worth the increase to the organization.

If you're an associate, moving on after 1 year is common for exactly that reason. It's a retention issue agencies need to do a better job to resolve. Right now though, a salary match is more likely than it may have been in the past if you get an offer.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.
