#career #promotion #careeradvice When I first started my career, my ultimate goal was to get promoted at work. I was prepared to work hard, go above and beyond, and do whatever it took to be noticed and to succeed. But 7 years later, I don't care about being promoted at work - and I'm okay if it never happens. Once I learned that being promoted at work isn't necessarily based on hard work and that I could make more money by job hopping and learning new skills, I decided it wasn't worth the struggle. While being promoted at work is a big accomplishment, it doesn't happen for everyone, and that's okay. I share this video not to be negative or bitter, but to share my perspective on how everyone's career journey is different. __ Timestamps: 00:00-1:47: Intro 01:49-06:55: Internal Politics 07:01-09:24:Raises Are Minimal Compared to Salary Jumps from Job Hopping 09:30-11:37: I Get Bored 11:42-14:35: New Shiny Opportunities Excite Me 14:40-18:27: Transitioning to New Roles is a Waiting Game 18:36-22:07: The Executive Suite is Brutal __ Videos mentioned in this video: I lost a job to nepotism: https://youtu.be/z04EqhTu2XE Why you should job hop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvlu1NzvVMs How to conduct salary research: https://youtu.be/_r1s3x5fEW0 Never do this on your resume: https://youtu.be/ksZYIqw8xP0 __ #careergrowth #careerdevelopment #careergoals #corporate #corporatelife #corporateculture #workplaceculture #careerjourney
