moving every 2 years or so is clearly the best strategy for career advancement.

it's a double edged sword in my experience from to talking to recruiters who seem to have an irrational hatred of "job hoppers" and they're, anecdotally, a majority.

however it is still true that you'll get higher pay as i did; but be sure to spend a LOT of time keeping your connections alive because most recruiters (still anecdotally) will red flag 2 & 3 year tenure-ships; effectively gate keeping you away from many jobs.

if it weren't for being in a relatively lucrative and in demand field (software development); i would be screwed because of those recruiters.

my work experience is almost entirely 2 & 3 year tenures and (anecdotally) companies are making vesting a bigger part of the compensation package and getting rid of pto to counteract people's attempts at improving their livelihoods.

if you see a vesting heavy or "unlimited pto" compensation packages on offer; they don't expect to keep you for very long.

Every single time I see this type of conversation come up it’s always about the more privileged higher paying white collar work.

this is true and i know i because i'm one of those workers while my siblings aren't and only my pay increases significantly each time while theirs remain stagnant.

on the other hand recruiters hate "job hoppers" and you'll end up with more gate keepers to jobs the more often you do it; while my siblings barely get any questions when they have to switch jobs.

As organized labor gains more steam

is there a stat somewhere that agrees with this? please say yes and share a link; i would like to believe this is true, but evidence suggests that a union's biggest hurdle is still convincing white people that non-white people need to be in their union too.

kitty looks matted; i hope it’s no causing any pain.

eldavi ,

that explains the look of disdain. lol

my very senior void is too inflexible to groom well and also gives me a “fuck you!” look after i bathe and groom him myself.
