[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started on the Hill in 2018 at under 40k. I'm now on my fourth job since leaving in 2019 at a base salary of 150k and I've been here under a year. Considering leaving again, because it's just not fulfilling anymore and the jobs I'm interviewing for are in the 175k-200k base plus bonus & equity range.

My question for the VP/exec level folks is how is this going to burn me down the line? I'm having no problems securing interviews in this market, but everything I read says don't do exactly what I'm doing. Please help me understand if I should ride my current job another few months or if I should take the director level roles should the interview lead to an offer.[/quote]

Ride the wave, as your timing is impeccable. Where it will hurt is down the line in an inevitable job recession, where you will be making too much and employers will select a candidate who has a proven record of some stability (3-5 years minimum).  This assumes your “promotions” are at different companies.  Employees love to see progression, especially at one employee for a bit.[/quote]

+1 a good old fashion recession hurts those who don’t have great resumes, as there are way to many candidates to choose from.  You won’t get a chance to throughly explain your jumps and most employers don’t want to hire knowing you will leave soon, unless in this market.[/quote]

This is an interesting angle to look at & promotions would be at different companies, I haven't received a title promotion in house in those last 4 years.[/quote]
