I’ve been a UW trainee for a year now and love my job, but I’m feeling underpaid. I’ve always heard you have to move out to move up. Is 1 year enough experience to actually land a better-paying role at another company, or will I have better luck waiting until the 2-year mark?

You can give it a try now. It’s a weird job market though.

I don't think a year is enough time. I would be concerned that you would leave your next role in a year too.

This is what I came here to say. One year is definitely not enough experience to negotiate, but if you ask your manager for advice on how to grow in the role, that will be more productive.
If you job-hop every year or two, you may earn a bit more at each place, but you're not setting yourself up for long-term success. If you stick with a company and thrive, the money will come. I personally only recommend quitting if the culture is toxic or you can't get by on your salary.

From what I’ve seen, one year is enough to move, but two years is enough to negotiate. Recruiters seemed way more confident pushing my resume once I crossed that two-year line. If you are truly underpaid, though, I wouldn't feel bad about looking now.

At least for UWs, they usually say that you need 3 years experience to truly know the ins and out but I would still try. Doesn’t hurt but also don’t get your hopes up because it’s hard market even for those with more experience.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
