I’ve been at my company (pharma) for 9 years this summer. Came out of my company’s HR development program and responsibilities have increased over time. I’m happy but I’m not sure if it will look bad in a few years to have only been at 1 company and whether it’ll affect my progression and marketability later. Thoughts?

I personally think you can flourish in the job market with that experience. Specially if you are the one that help put new processes in place . The time is definitely now I’d you are looking for a company change HRBP position are literally everywhere at the moment go for that change !

I don't think it will look bad, many orgs look at longs tenures as an impressive feat. Just be ready to demonstrate examples of significant professional growth, and ways you have helped the company grow.

No, staying at one company is less common these days, but if it made sense for your career growth/path it won't count against you. Most people hop around because they can get bigger pay bumps by doing so - future recruiters/managers looking at your resume are just as likely to think you worked for a great, well-paying company.

You an do so much with that experience. I would not worry one bit about that working against you. That looks great on a resume.

It limits the perspective you can offer. Many would look at you and assume you are stuck ‘doing it the same way as we’ve always done it”. Be ready to share on your resume how you are innovative with ideas.

Hi Fishes,

I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ.

Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?
