I have total work ex of 10 years. Had a stint of 3 years in 1st job and 5 years in the next. I left the last job in 9 months and am planning to leave the current one by end of 14th month. 

Am I switching too fast or is it fine if I am seeking clear career growth opportunities?

Is it okay to switch after every 1 year

I come from a non-tech background and have ~4.5 years of work-ex across banking, consulting and business development (2.5 years, 7 months, and 1.5 years respectively). Last month, I switched to a CoS role in a startup but not really loving it so far. How long do I have to stay here so it doesn’t reflect poorly on my CV?

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

Just got a job Offcampus... With an okayish pay... Good work culture + wfh as far as I have heard... But currently my parents are constantly pressurising me to look for another job. I don't want to currently I am done giving interviews. So that's why I was thinking of switching after 4 months. 

I would love to stay here for long time but the pay is the problem. I am just in a regret that my one of my offer got revoked which was actually with a good enough pay and now I have to settle with this one. 

But I am feeling bad to even think that I am gonna switch in just 4 5 months. I will be treated as a fresher only in the market... How is it going to affect my career if I switch early? 

Pay would be the only motivation to switch, people here are quite okay well mannered non toxic. NP 2 months

What would happen if I switch in just 4 5 months being a freshie?

I wish to know the pros/cons of frequently switching jobs. 
I am in a dilemma, there are posts here and there that say don't switch frequently and then there are posts that nobody cares about frequent job switches, as you are a dev.

Let's discuss ladies & gents✍️

Pros/Cons of Frequent Job Switching

Imagine you are the Hiring manager looking for a Tech Lead who is having 8-10 years of experience. 
  
 He/She has already switched 6-7 companies in the period of 9 years. Will you consider that person working for you? 
  
 I personally won’t.

DevOps Engineer

I’ve joined a company recently and I’m planning to switch from here within 6 months . Is it fine ? What should I say when the recruiters asks for reason for change ? Ps : My average switch between companies were around 2.5 yeas.

Early switch

I joined as fresher almost 2y ago. I am pretty much skilled and certified in my technology. Is it the right time for me to switch? My lead tells me to work for atleast 1 more year and complete atleast 3 years in my first company. What should I do?

What is the ideal time for me to switch?

I joined this new job recently, been a month.

Have about 10ish years of experience, and not enjoying the new place. I feel they have hired me prematurely and don't have any real work for me and I am bombarded with stuff, which I feel is intern level / stuff meant for a very junior resource. 

The expectation on ownership was very different  when I was sold the role, but it doesn't seem like they are in a position to deliver the role for the next 6 months.

I feel they have overhired anticipating scale that they would hit 6 months out (which I am very skeptical they would).

Do you guys think it's okay to leave within a month? Has anyone done that before?

Product Manager

I am in a tricky situation with no hopes for promotion soon. Already spent a good 7-9 years of my career here. I want to take a break and rethink, maybe do an MBA or CFA Not sure whether I need a break or am being frustrated and lazy. Not sure if I will pick back that momentum I had in my initial career time.

Also an opportunity has come knocking at the door, for a completely new field when I was mentally preparing myself to disengage from work. What to do, ??

I know it's my decision, but a 3rd person speaking honestly would help me a lot! - Need some good advice!

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Me thinking to switch after every 2 years max, for bettter opportunity 🤟, and better hike. Because eventually after 1-2 year, you reach saturation point. 

My concern is It is good to switch to new company even if current company is really good with you in all the way possible.... Except giving salary hike😔

Should I keep switching after every 2 year

Been in Bangalore for 6+ years and love everything the city has given me. 
This city ( more like people here) taught me what software engineering and product sense is, how to entrepreneurs function, whats a 100X coder like. 
Made many memories, weekend trips to nearby places were so nice. Dated, moved in and then married my girlfriend, adopted a dog. So Bangalore has given me a lot. 
But in hindsight it takes a way a lot also - 
1. Everybody is in constant work mode, even in parties its just about who is doing what
2. Everybody is in loot mode here - i have seen locals pay less for veggies/fruits in front of me, then the veggies apparently have lead in them
3. Rents/builders/brokers/roads - we all know whats up with them 

Though it was nice initially, now i feel like even after earning so much ( ctc > 1cr) if i just spend it all here ( monthly expenses ~2lacs same is with all my married friends), what is the point even.

Hence making a move to slow life now, where you get a house with garden for 25k and fresh veggies and you can actually develop some relationship with community. 

This urge to always outperform in career is not really needed, we all eventually work towards savings and hence if i earn less but spend even lesser, its more or less the same thing for me.

But i dont want to live in a matchbox, travel 1 hour to meet a friend, eat a roti for 150bucks and be in constant anxiety about climbing the ladder. 

All i want is to focus on health, and sit in a garden in some sunshine with my wife and my dog and enjoy a cup of tea. 

So yes, I AM DONE. Moving to a tier 2 ( more like tier 2.5 town ) 

Happy to answer any questions if anybody has any.

So are you fed up with Bangalore or just the career rat race? 
  
 Both are different. 
  
 Also, costs can be low in Bangalore, spending 2L/mo in married life isn't a feature of the city, it's the feature of your circle. 
  
 Not all high earners have to be HENRYs

Frequent Switches : Good or Bad ?

I want to quit my job and take a break. 

I Have been contemplating to do the same for almost an year but decided not to do it. So many things have happened since then

1. Layoff wave started in india
2. Got married
3. Had to move back to bangalore from hometown

Reason I want to quit is I don't feel like working , feeling bored and work doesn't interest me that much. 

I want to take a break chill for a bit but don't have guts to do the same considering market conditions ( what if I don't get a job when I am back in the market😅) 

Please give any advice on how to tackle this situation or if someone has gone through the same, would love to hear your experience. 

Also how is the product hiring currently in India? 

PS:  I do have a good runway for 4-5 months considering all expenses but I am scared to take the step

Hi folks, are multiple job switches considered a red flag by MBA programs, especially those in the US? And say ISB in India? There are perfectly legitimate and imo valid reasons for said job switches.
