- peteradio 8y agoGood luck I quit.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoYou must be prepared to follow through. Always Be Interviewing. Give notice, move, level up, rinse, repeat.
- potta_coffee 8y agoHow often can you do this without it being a problem? I'm trying to make it past a year at current job, it definitely requires discipline to see it through. I don't want to be a job hopper but there are always shiny new opportunities.
- beagle3 8y agoWhen the economy is good, less than 1 year at a job seems excessive hopping. When the economy is worse and employers can choose, even 3 years look like "job hopping individual, will jump ship as soon as economy turns around and he can get $1 more somewhere else". Just decide if you optimize for comfort or money, and make sure you have a few months buffer for the bad times.
- potta_coffee 8y agoI don't really hop, but I don't have a great track record because one job wasn't a good fit, then I freelanced / contracted for a while, etc, then landed at another job that wasn't what they promised it would be in the interview, etc.

- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoHow do you keep the interviews on the DL? The few times I've moved positions it's been a nightmare trying to keep my current boss from figuring it out.
- rbg246 8y agoSchedule them at lunch, do them before work, have a doctor's appointment to go to, there are a multitude of excuses you can give. It's business, they aren't your friends, you don't need to tell them the whole truth.
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoThe difficulty I Found was when there were 5 in short order - they start to notice your absenteeism.
- toomuchtodo 8y ago"My dog is having health issues".
- SenHeng 8y agoBy this point, do you really care?
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoAbsolutely, it could fall through. Don't be prepared to jump until you know you're going to land softly.
- mesozoic 8y agowhy keep it secret make it known and maybe they just give you that raise
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoThen you're a flight risk. Laying that out like that let's them know you've got one foot out the door and the only thing keeping you there is bribery.
