I'm in IT. It's the advice I wish I'd followed from the beginning.
Once you get comfortable in your job and it becomes routine, you need to find a new one. Keep growing your skill set, and probably take a hefty raise each time.
Don't worry about being a job hopper - it resolves itself easily enough when you don't find the next position for a while.
I so need to do this. Been at the same job for almost 10 years and it feels like everyone else I started with has surpassed me for this reason in terms of salary and position. But i hate applying for jobs in tech so much, having to do the leetcode study bullshit as if I'm still in school and all that. It's so exhausting and annoying. Maybe it's the ADHD, but it's hard to bring myself to sit down and do it.
But also, I could really use more money, it's been impossible to save for a house where I live, and I'd love to be able to have one someday. I know it's not too late, I still have so many years before I retire, but I'm still jealous of you guys that could sit down and more easily do the interview dance every 2-3 years.
Get fired.
That’s how I did it.
Haha that's one way. Seems like it would make it harder to land the next job, though.
