I've been with the same firm for nearly a decade and have progressed from junior sales to senior account manager. Will recruiters see this type of longevity at the same place as strategic career building, or does it look like I've just been playing it safe?

If you have been able to move up at the same company, that’s not seen as playing it safe. Being at the same company for a decade and being in the same role would be more of a concern.

If you can point to new skills, bigger deals, and leadership roles you’ve taken on, it shows progression. Playing it safe usually means standing still, and it sounds like you’ve moved up.

I have 100k to my name. I’m thinking of investing in by going in with 3 other family members and buying commercial units. I was taught to rent where you live and own your investments so your not tied to it and restricted. To give context I’m 22 years old, and I see other family members having a headache selling their home. My question is do you guys recommend owning where you live vs renting ?

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
