I’m 18 months in to my current role. Strong performance reviews but promotion is based on tenure so I need to wait at least another two years to have a good shot. Or, I can go elsewhere and get the promotion (and remote work, which is what I really want).
If I move again, I plan to stay at least five years for the reasons in this thread.
But employers sometimes forget that even current employees are still operating in the jobs market.
- friedman23 5y agoIf you have that issue at every company you work for it's a red flag. If you've had 3+ jobs and they all have tenures of <2 years it's a red flag.
- aiisjustanif 5y agoThis is just not true.
- friedman23 5y agoHow is it not? How does anyone join a company and make any significant contributions in less than 2 years? How do you even become a leader within a company in less than two years? You just throw out all the relationships you have built every 2 years? It is a red flag.
- physicsguy 5y agoWhat do you consider a significant contribution? I spent 18 months in my first post-PhD job and in that time I drove consolidation of all of the tests (code base has acquired 6 frameworks over 20 years) into a single framework and got people actually writing new tests. I fixed parallel building which brought down the clean build time from 3 hours to 15 minutes. I did the work for a feature which was used as the major marketing selling point in that year. I got a very decent pay rise and bonus because of these things before I left.
