I felt this way in the past but what worked for me was this: I stop applying for jobs on rat race websites like indeed. I invested time in building my LinkedIn and resume. I reached out to recruiters and recruitment companies to apply for me. My current company and previous company were high paying jobs and had no postings on major sites. Both were private companies. Please don’t get discouraged… keep digging until you reach goal. Trust me.

I stayed at my first employer for 20 years. It was hard walking away from a $100k+ engineering salary and six weeks PTO in a low cost state. Oh and a Pension as well. But when I realized our net worth was $2.5 million at age 43 and we lived a simple life below our means...I convinced myself money wasn't everything and time to do a career change. Now making 50% less but super low stress and the net worth is actually $4.7 million now. No more commute or pointless meetings actually came with this new job. Nothing beats using your own bathroom and kitchen on the clock. I spent more time around my kids during their high school years and finally was able to see them come home from school after all these years which was pretty important to me as a parent. Make them a snack, ask them about their day, etc. Life is pretty easy and relaxing now in my mid-40's....I quickly fall asleep at night and no longer think about work outside of work hours..... sometimes even on the clock I don't think about work. You just have to find a way to reach a point to convince yourself money and title isn't everything.

In my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living..

@jasxteo

20 күн бұрын

Yes… suddenly realised when you have more experience they don’t want you.

It takes a significant amount of effort to rotate to another role and learn the aspects of company and job functions. I think/feel the older you get, the desire to constantly hop becomes burdensome. Tenure can create experience and expertise, which many employers do want.

@2:37 yes, higher pay isn't the only thing that would make me happier. But it's far more important than the other things he listed and throughout this video. I'd rather make $100K and have terrible coworkers than make $50K and work with best friends.

Don’t stay loyal to a corporation that isn’t loyal to you.

The most important point is missed: immigration status. If you are a US citizen or a lawful permanent resident, you can hop as many times as you want. But legal immigrants are not following this pattern. Once a company sponsors you for H1B or a green card, you are on the hook for the next 3-4 years or even decades. Every career change is a well-planned venture because the risk is high, especially during layoffs. You are given only 60 days to find another job or must leave the country. For people with families, mortgages, kids at schools and other assets/liabilities, this is insane. No one talks about this modern form of unfreedom, but many people I know who went through this immigration hell are great managers and leaders. Grit is what makes them great.

Employers are absolutely not human, especially in small, founder-run, private companies. They want you to stay, but don’t give you the “culture” or pay that would actually make employees want to stay. There is all of this data that revolves around employee retention and whatnot, but really the only thing that matters to the individual is earning enough to be happy, and not hating their job. That’s it.

In my experience, when working for someone else, e.g. not self-employed, there are two constants. One, you cannot get rich working for someone else. Two, you're expendable, e.g. the employer can let you go at any time. My advice for job hoppers is to be loyal only to the mighty buck. Find the job where you get paid the most amount of salary with the least amount of work and the least amount of stress.

Says the Economic Guru who's working for a poor boss!

Being laid off is the best. A severance package and time to unwind from a stressful job was just when I needed after my last two positions where I wash just not enjoying it anymore. I qualified for unemployment too, so I wasn't really stressed out while I was in between jobs. As a 35yo millennial, I do value loyalty, but I've learned about the importance of moving on when necessary. Always have that resume/portfolio updated, your network close, LinkedIn active, and skills sharpened. Waiting to get laid off is not always gonna be the best bet, so setting yourself up for success by being prepared for the next great opportunity is crucial.

I’m going to be as honest as possible. If you’re not planning on making that job a career long term less than 2 years and switch jobs. The reason I say that is because you don’t want to get too comfortable in a job that you cannot live with the rest of your life making that crappy salary. Although I’m positive with rent increases everyone has at least two jobs. Which is good, you gotta do what you gotta do to pay your rent but career wise never get to comfortable unless you plan on staying there trust me.

Two jobs are not always good for me nothing is more essential than being well. You won't be able to move around to buy anything or engage in any activity if your health isn't good, regardless of rising prices. In addition, working longer hours means spending a lot of time with toxic coworkers, which is stressful at work and bad for one's mental health. Then, imagine this: if you spend several hours performing a bodily hazardous job, guess what? In other ways, it damages the body and increases stress. Starting a side hustle or investing that's not stressful is the best course of action if the person needs that extra money.

Been loyal to a company for 1.5 years putting in extra effort on weekends and working long hours as it was my first company and they even did training. Got laid off at end of jan. The worst part is that people who don't work at all are still working there. Still looking for job and decided to not give a damn to a company from now on.

I love the part where she says a job hopper might miss out on a promotion opportunity while also admitting that companies don’t promote often enough, often once a year or once every couple years. No employee who is highly skilled is going to wait for a promotion when they can just get a new job with that same promotion job title/role

Thank you to you CNBC, for coming out with a video like this...which matters to a lot people nowadays who are in dilemma when they are announced that they will be laid off etc..best 12 minutes watching the content and experiences ahared by different people and the acute statistical info and analysis presented as well..kudos keep doing this 👍

Really great video. Be brutally honest with your skillet. Assess what skills your industry is interested in, review job openings that interest you and acquire the skills mentioned in the preferred experience section. Find that thing you can be a subject matter expect (SME) at.

I think you have to do what’s best for you and your future. What you want from your career and what you expect from a company will play a key part in staying long term or leaving in the short term. But I still believe there are small number of companies that value you and your work as an employee and will treat you with respect and reward you with appreciation and higher compensation.

Work two years to learn/master the first principles of the job and then dip.

Very fascinating, because a lot of this is pretty true. One thing to note, is certain company have age preference too surprisingly. Example: Company (A) might prefer older individuals, because of maturity and commitment. While company (B) might prefer younger folks, because of lower pay and the welcome of new ideas. It's all a part of the culture, structure, and innovation. This is only a small part of the overall.💯

In Mexico, the frustration lies in the stark contrast between how employers can terminate employees abruptly, while employees are expected to give at least two weeks' notice before leaving. This discrepancy highlights a sense of disposability in how employees are treated. It's disheartening, and it's crucial for us to acknowledge appropriately this reality.

It’s the same issue in the US. When you’re hired for a private company it’s usually“at will”, meaning they can fire you at any time for any reason. Whereas it is “expected” the employee provides a 2 week notice (but not required).

This is an important topic and a very well done video. I'd be curious to know if job hopping also take into consideration being having to find a new job following a layoff.

Depends on many factors: is it the career you want? Are you getting raises, career mobility? Flexibility? That all needs to be factored in. But off top 3-4 is long enough for one position. It used to be 3-5 but today it could even be 2-3.

"Finding out what the opportunities are within your company involves an uncomfortable conversation with your manager." This is the kind of conversation that you should be having regularly with your manager! Get comfortable with uncomfortable conversations! Expressing your desires for growth should lead any good manager to open doors for you and coach you to help you succeed!

if you're asking how long you should stay at your job, the answer would be to leave immediately.

I work from home doing graphic design and make around 75K a year and sometimes work gets slow so I get to take care of household chores. My boss is also super nice. I don't see why I would want to leave and risk getting a job that affects my stress, health, happiness, for a bit more money. I even moved to GA where the cost of living is lower and can live anywhere in the country I choose.

I increased my income from 38k to 75k by switching jobs from a company who refused to promote me after 4 years being with them. Always keep looking for better paying jobs every 1-2 years if you aren't satisfied with your work.

Maybe I’m an “older” generation, but when I’m reviewing resumes I look at the frequency of job switching to determine if this person is worth spending time and money on to train them for the job. I can overlook switching after a short timeframe, but not if it’s consistently happening. I prefer to see candidates with a 3-4 year window at their former positions. If you’re jumping within a year frequently, there’s a good chance they you were fired or let go because you weren’t a good fit.

Not necessarily. I worked about 3 years in my first job out of college and then only worked 16 months in my last job. I am now somewhere else because it was a much better opportunity for life and family purposes and is now a place I’d like to build a foundation with. Not everyone who has frequent job hopping is because they were fired or shows lack of work ethic. I believe you have to look at the whole picture and figure out how that maybe something was happening with their personal life with family or something during those years. Your offer might be the offer they are seeking to give your company a major 10 years because that’s where they want to start their foundation. There are a lot of bad company cultures and managers so some people are moving around because perhaps the people that work there are absolutely terrible to work around. I do understand where you’re coming from though, just kind of a side thought on how we do need to look at people as people too.

@@tmi4507 - All valid points and I try my best to give someone the benefit of the doubt. If the person is just starting their career often they are switching jobs more often to figure out what they want to do. It’s still important as a manager to determine what they are looking for from our company. If what we want from them aligns with their career goals, then there’s a better chance they’ll stick around.

Do we consider only switching companies as job switch or also switching position within the same company? It can be someone works in 10 different positions at the same company, and someone else works at 10 different companies but always in 1 position. Does the first example come into the job switching statistics?

Studies and experiences will define what I'll do for living. Be part of a team and then keep up for get through tasks and objectives is what I like to do. Relations enables to arrive at the finish line.

I started as a QA Tech with my current company making 27/hr and worked for a year. I then moved into a salaried position as a supervisor and then into an analyst role working for corporate HQ. Went from 57k to 87k all within 3 years total! It definitely helps to move around. Now I’m looking to change companies and will make even more!

90% of organizations are worried about employmee retention? Maybe they should give their current employees raises on par with the rates they pay new employees then...

No pension, no loyalty.

I came to the US with 500 dollars. I got a STEM masters with a fellowship,working part time jobs. Started at 65k, 10 years later make easily over 500k a year, just by working jobs that offer equity. Don’t lose your time working for someone else’s dream without any equity. Buy into the vision - let them invest in you through their stock comp, so when they make money, you too will.

You need to use your employer, the same way they use you. I’ve worked at 4 large organizations over my working decade post graduation. I’ve received better hours, better commutes, increased pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matches that rolled over, and pension style accounts that I got to keep. You need to look at the entire compensation package and evaluate it regularly to determine if this is the right place to continue working

The real key? Put as much away as you possibly can into a retirement fund, hopefully matched by your employer and do as much as they will match. Often 10% of your income. Also in addition, put some into their stock plan if they seem like a good investment. You may be able to buy discounted stocks. You will be surprised how it builds up. I went from in-debt to retirement in about eight years by socking as much as I could away. I'm older but the job was average-ish pay. Not in the hundred thousands, but I managed to save enough in that time to stop working by being careful how I spent and investing in my future. That beats job hopping any day!

skill acquisition with wide exposure in my 20s, seek upward mobility, pay increases, and multiple streams of revenue in 30s, develop dependable repeatable automatable processes for personal/work growth in my 40s. Do jobs that fulfill me in 50s and Retire by 60. I started this in my teens so I shifted all this the left by 5 yrs.

Gen X here. I have been an engineer for a big local government entity for the last 34 years moving from one department to the next. I will be retiring this year with a pension that pays 72% of my current income for life with COLA. When I die my spouse gets 50% of my pension for life with COLA. So think "strategically" about how long you want to STAY on your job.

...it depends

I have been with a Fortune 500 company for 10 years. Haven't seen much growth, and my salary has been stagnant. I have been applying for other jobs, no interview but got one and start in a month. I feel like I'm having an affair. I'm holding my 10 year job by going on a leave of absence so I could try this new one which pays $15,000 more a year. I plan to work both eventually until I feel the new job is a fit for me. But everything said in this video resonates with me: - Career Advancement - Higher Pay - Toxic Environment - Better Benefits

It's stupid to stay for more than 2 years because company don't really appreciate their current employees. Instead, those newly joined will end up getting higher pay.

These problems can be solved: 1. High school curriculum needs to be upgraded where the job market needs are addressed. Goal: 25% of the jobs should be addressed by high school degree. 2. Reform the regulations in place for building new houses. Goal: the material and labor of building a new house should be 80% of the total cost. Lawsuits and regulations that artificially inflate the cost of the house needs to be reformed. 3. The state needs to find a solution where property owners are incentivized to boost new property developments in places like California where legal fees and zoning laws have made it impossible for new housing to be built. Goal : Enact policies which address the concerns of property owners and make them a supporter of new housing instead of opposing it. How will these concerns impact the overall american life? - Cost of college is a demand and supply issue, ensure that people with highschool degree are still strong candidates for work force and you’ll see the cost of college go down. Planning to do the work should cost more than the work itself. This huge burden of the regulations need to be dealt with and solved ASAP. If the economic viability of new housing is not there, there is no way to produce efficiency. Bring down the regulations that are stifling housing production and you’ll see the capitalism will produce affordable housing which will create jobs, allow people to buy houses and ultimately improve the economy for every one.

If your resumes show a lot of job hops, then your resume may be discarded. Employers don't want to invest resources that may stay for mere months. 18-30 months seem to be a golden number. Enough time to show you're competent and skill up in your previous role. Some employers value variety of experience as well. Source: myself :)

@@ephraimsimable While that may work for someone in your case, a lot of employers do think that skipping around doesn't reflect well on that employee. They think that the employee can't handle jobs and switch from one to another with little dedication. Training employees costs thousands for employers, so if they suspect you might jump at the nearest opportunity, they may be resonate to hire you despite your qualifications and background. If they have to do costly training periods, and then wait a few months until you are really profitable to them and have the knowledge to be successful, then if you leave, you show a lack of discipline to future employers who may see your resume and have red flags going off because you are job hopping and not a serious candidate. I get that jumping jobs can raise your salary, but I would caution against doing it at such a vigorous rate because it could backfire and result in long periods of unemployment. Employers hate hiring people and high turnover, they want long-term employees who are more valuable than fresh hires whom they have to train and develop. In that case, then it is advantageous to show that you are capable of staying long-term and willing to play ball with employers. I would say that 2-3 and then jump is a good rate of finding new jobs. It gives you stability, but also it provides employers a level of trust that they know you will stay with them. It can increase the odds of landing a job in the future as it shows you want to stay and develop as a candidate. I do get that if you are in a dead-end job with little prospects of moving up, then I would say you should job hop, but still, you should stay for one year at that company, and then move.

I was in banking for 10 years and changed jobs five times. Each time I switched, I received a significant increase in pay.
