Which do you think is better for long term career growth? Option A: Move around to different positions/depts at one company and try to move up. Option B: Stick around in the same geographic region of the country in the same industry but switch companies every few years or Option C: Move around to different areas of the country in the same industry.

I wouldn’t recommend changing positions or employers every few years… the years of ‘job hopping’ for more pay are over… the rule of thumb for me is 3 in 5 and 4 in 10… if you haven’t found a role that’s a fit and you haven’t receive a promotion, it’s hard to believe it’s a company problem every time…

I’m all for annual increases and promotions… the unfortunate reality is that companies can’t magically create money they don’t have (or project to have) to increase wages in a predictable manner… they can’t magically create entire new divisions to endlessly promote their employees…

You seem to be suggesting that companies prefer turnover and ‘brain drains’ versus annual increases or promotions… it’s a very real balance that they’re faced with… maximum employment and maximum revenue per employee…

The trick is not thinking any one of those will put you ahead. Move jobs when it is strategic and benefits you to do so. Stay at a company when there is growth, and it’s achievable. Don’t tie yourself down to any one option.

Different career goals, the market changes. It’s not a one-size-fits-all for sure.

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

I want an advice on which field would be good on both future and salary. CYBER SECURITY ENGINEER OR SOC ANALYST? any advice will be appreciated.
