I would personally wait until you have around 1-2 years experience. I feel that’s the best time, certainly don’t wait until manager and get pigeon-holed. But I feel like as a senior you learn a lot more, and industry can be very slow-paced and dry in terms of learning.

In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

Say I secured a new position for myself. And say the start date of that position would make my 2 weeks notice stretch back into Christmas break. If I was to leave the firm before the break they’d let me go immediately. But if I quit over the break there’s no way they shit can me right then and there do they? I mean I have to transition my clients and wrap up work. I’d like to get paid as much as possible before leaving. This seems like it’s it. Am I a shitty person for doing it like this?
