Hello, Any idea on how long barcalys USA HR take time for compensation negotiation. I have been given verbal confirmation on position and told compensation requested went to rewards team for approval and its been 3 weeks no update from HR . HR keeps on pushing couple of days every time when I ask for update saying yet to get update from rewards team.

I think it depends on a lot of factors such as where you are in your career as well as your career path. If you have been jumping from one job to another for a year for most of your career, it could be seen as a red flag by some.
Kind of like someone saying that all their exes were crazy or good enough, the only true constant is that person, so maybe the problem isn’t with the exes.
Now, I don’t advocate staying in one place if the fit is truly not there. However, things sometimes take time to get going, habits to form and relationships to be built. So even if things are not up to your standard, they might get better after a year AND they can help you demonstrate that you can work collaboratively and increase your influence in an organization; two things I think are really important for career progression.
With all that being said, if you don’t like the company you work for and you don’t see your role contributing meaningfully to your career progression, I wouldn’t stay.
I tend to agree with this statement. I’ve been with the company I work for 4 years, pretty much since graduating college. I’ve taken up a PM role about a year ago and I can say it hasn’t met my expectations of a PM role. Because I work primarily in a manufacturing industry that is entering cloud services and digital solutions in general, I have been a PM, PMM, and an Operations Manager all in one.
That being said, I am involved in some cool projects that the company is investing in (although I wish more) so I want to give it another 6 months to a year to see what that impact looks, especially considering this is my first PM role.
I think if it’s not actively toxic or making you angry daily or damaging your mental health, then yea a year is probably reasonable
Well put!
imo, a year is a long time to give to any role. I would give it six months because it’s easy to gauge the motivation and culture of an org, and how enthusiastic they are toward the product. I don’t work on products that it’s employees aren’t interested in seeing through.
I think a year is a good amount of time. Although, I have left after a much shorter period where it was apparent the environment was toxic.
I hadn't really thought of it specifically, but I suppose I operate under the same concept. That said, I *have* broken my rule and left a couple of jobs earlier than a year, but that was because they were toxic and unbearable. No point in staying. Otherwise, I feel like a lot can change in a year, and in some cases, I've ended up really liking the job/team/company after giving it some time.
A year is good if you’re not miserable. That gives you time to rack up a years’ worth of impact under your belt so even though you’re leaving, you still have solid accomplishments under your belt.
6 months; 1 month to onboard, 3 months to get over the rose tinted glasses, and a few more months after to see if your feedback is taken seriously and gauge whether things change
