I’m sending resumes out far and wide, ideally I’d be in a new role ASAP. I’m already starting to get requests for phone screenings so formal interviews will probably be on the way. The kicker is that my wife is 6 months pregnant and our first child is due next February, which is busy season the public accounting jobs I am applying to. I feel like requesting paternity leave or letting them know a baby is coming will make hiring me more difficult. How do I approach this, and when do I do it?
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).

Btw, here's also a salary history thread from others on the app, most jumped, almost every year and received huge salary bumps

Enjoy! Hope this helps you!
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.
