Is moving jobs often a good idea to progress on the career ladder and get a better salary? The job market changed a lot lately. What do you think? 🪜

I think so. Loyalty doesn’t pay. At least at big four accounting firms they don’t. Pretty sure there is also an article that statistically proves jumping is the best way to get paid the most. I would like to know if the optics of jumping too much affect your future earnings though (like company’s eventually not hiring you bc you’ve been jumping too much).

Yes! It depends on the company regarding opportunities to climb ladder, but your best bet to make significant salary increases is hopping to a new company.

Yes. With every move up the ladder, I had to listen to former coworkers complain about their stagnant career. So do something about it! You don’t always find the next promotion two floors up. I’ve moved from RI to OH to VA and back to OH. I also grew up that way, constantly moving because of my dads job…and now he’s enjoying retirement with his Best In Show corvette collection. So yeah…it’s worth it.

I am due to take 2 weeks parental leave sometime in the next month and have an offer lined up. Is it better to tell the new place I would prefer to push my start date to take my leave and join two weeks after (accounting for 2 weeks of notice when I get back)? Would that be burning a bridge with current firm (taking leave and giving notice as soon as I am back)? I want to avoid losing 2 weeks of salary during that time if I can.
