Is taking a new job after only a year at previous job looked down upon?
Posted by Ryno_Kill on 7/8/13 at 7:31 pm00
I just did this but in my defense my salary could double.

Translation of the translation: "look at me my salary could have just doubled"

I think doing it once is fine, definitely frowned upon any more than that.

Doubling from 20k to 40k...ehhh.
pretty sure if you're only making 20k then 40k seems like a million bucks

Screw loyalty in the workplace. Always chase the money

If you're under 40 then I agree with this 100%

I don't consider it an issue unless you have a tendency to stay at a job for 1 to 1.5 years at most. I know one of my family members switches jobs very often because that is the only way he can get a pay raise. His ability to change jobs as often as he does has not stopped him from finding employment, although I wouldn't doubt that it has hurt his chances at better jobs than what he can get.

I disagree. I find there are much more important things to forming a career than 'chasing money' at every opportunity.
The first 5 years out of school, development and exposure to the right opportunities is more important to me than the highest salary. Of course, it is ideal if it all three align.
I am slightly old school on this topic. I generally think that 2 years is the minimum otherwise you start creating red flags. This depends on the industry/job skill, naturally.

I agree on the loyalty piece...but the reasons for leaving can vary.

It used to be that you were rewarded for loyalty and hard work. I don't think that is the case most of the time anymore.
Employers are always looking for cost savings and a long term employee is a more expensive employee, at least for the companies I have worked for, that seems to be the thought.
Anyway, companies don't seem to worry about being loyal to you anymore, so my loyalty isn't as high either.
