The best time is always now. There is always a reason to stay (promo, raise, etc), but if you keep following that you’ll never leave.
Yep that really is part of the rat race mindset OP is talking about
The best time to jump ship is when you have a meaningful offer.
It's never a bad time to search for opportunities
Agreed. But how? I get catching up with old clients and colleagues, but indicating you're always looking isn't a good look imho. Thoughts?
I’d say there’s no harm in looking and if another great opportunity presents itself why wait.
I’m 1.5 years in and have started looking. Don’t feel like the consulting culture is a good fit for me. Have another offer currently but for some reason am wondering if I should stay for possible promotion, retirement versing, etc too.
Looking at a career as a more long game, I'd wait for a promo and do a year at that level. Shows time in the role and you are a performer that got promoted.
Given that, your exit would be in about 24 months...not an eternity. Also to exit in 24 months, you probably have to start hard-core job searching in 18 months to comfortably exit at 24 months.
24 consulting months: AKA, 10 years in Earth years
I’d say wait for promo, that’s what I did and I get a ton of LinkedIn messages from recruiters trying to poach me.
I think the best time to look is now and take you’re time to find something that will be a great fit. It might take months to find the right next role. If you wait until you’re desperate to leave you’ll likely be less discerning and might end up in another role that isn’t a great fit
