What’s your average tenure? I really enjoy my work. I like my colleagues, I like the network I’m in and I like my boss. But I’ve been given the opportunity to interview with a small, but very impactful, consulting shop that specialises in purpose and meaning for brands. But I worry how it’ll look on my resume if I jump ship too soon (I’m 18 months into my current role, but 8 in career total). And I’d like the opportunity to maybe return to agencies some day. Would this look bad?

Work that actually feels meaningful is so rare in advertising. If the opportunity comes along, you should take it!

I don't think 18 months is jumping ship too early, I always personally follow a rule of 1 year unless where I'm working is awful or I recieve a job offer that's too good to refuse. That's just me though.

I jump ship about every year. I honestly have never had anyone question it. Do what is best for you.

Hello guys,

I got an offer from epam but confused whether it’s epam systems or anywhere.
As I have been given fixed salary and remote work. But on offer it states EPAM systems.
Could someone please let me know who has joined epam anywhere recently if on offer it’s mentioned as anywhere?
On my interview invites as well it was mentioned anywhere.

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
