My friend is an SAE. She interviewed with a company that acted like it was a red flag that she'd been in her current role for 9 months. But in NYC and PR people switch all the time. Is it a red flag?

As a hiring manager, I look at patterns. One short stint you can explain, but if you’re 5 years outwith 4 jobs, your history suggests I will have to hire your replacement in a year. I’m not making a forever hire, but an avg tenure of 2-3 years makes a strong impression.

It is always a red flag if you have been at an agency for less than a year and are looking for a new position, regardless of level. Can easily be played out as general unhappiness if looking for a lateral move. But will still be suspect.

like

Depends on who's making the call on the hire. As long as she has a good reason or can think of a good reason, it shouldn't hurt her. I think people just get annoyed when people don't stay around for long cause they're scared this is just another jump to another jump.

9 months? Yes.

Especially if they’ve skipped around before

Then why did they invite her in to interview?

like

No. But make sure she can quantify some accomplishments in the 9 months of being there. Otherwise she’ll look like she’s not proactive.

I am sure there is alot of opportunities out there.

Just wanted to know, for my experience. What kinda salaries can I look for?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
