2 years with every swap ideally netting at least 10% annual income increase

2 years is a good rule of thumb, but start looking for a new job after 1 year. If you get a good enough salary bump then there's nothing wrong with leaving a little early. The thing to keep in mind is that if you're applying for a job and they see that you stayed at all your previous jobs for exactly one year they'll know what you're doing. So generally keeping it at least slightly over the 1 year mark will make it less sus. Depending on your industry, it can take up to 3-5 months between the first phone call and the formal offer anyway, which is why I say start looking after 1 year.

You don't have to leave a job because it's the cool thing to do. If you're actually making good money, they're increasing your pay, opportunities, and it's comfy work, don't fall for the rat race meme and leave because it's the cool thing to do.

As already pointed out, 2 years is optimal for salarymaxxing.
I've been at my company for nearly 4, my pay has plateaued and I can't see that changing. It's comfy and fully remote though so I'm gonna stick around anyway.

2 years if your boss doesn't do penis inspections. Mine does so I've been in my current role for 8 years.

Dang, I wanted to agree with him, but digits
>>56610850
My current rule of thumb is if it's better than the previous job I want to try to stay at least as long, or if you feel comfy and cba to change maybe at least a year longer.

This is why the people doing job interviews get paranoid about you having gaps. They are not only wondering what you didn't do, but what you did do with other companies, but had to leave for whatever reason.

Literally nothing other than I probably wouldn't keep a job I only stayed 3 months at on my resume. It's just a matter of having a history of staying at a previous jobs for slightly more than 1 year. Although I have had jobs with signing bonuses which had stipulations that you had to pay it back if you left after less than a year, so that may be one more consideration.

What’s worked well for me is switching between medium business and large corporations. Your time at a company is to build tenure at a reputable level for your career with your goal being to “cash out” into a better title with a smaller company, your time at the small company is to build experience with your new title to eventually cash out for more pay with this title at a larger company.

1 year is way too short lol, wtf can you do for a company in one lousy year?
I would say 5 to 10 years before switching up. Or less if you get a really great offer
but you would fuck your current company.

I don't ask what I can do for a company. I ask what a company can do for me.
