Time has really changed. I feel like it was yesterday when I was having a conversation with my mentor, that I needed a career change, that I’d been in that specific space and industry for too long (3,5 long years). I was hungry for more and I wanted to learn.
My then manager told me that I was too young, that I should stick it out another two or three years,to get that promotion that would feed my hunger for more knowledge and more experience.
What I was told over that period or season, was that you should stay in a job for a minimum of five years, to show stability, and commitment. Job hopping, as long as it was less than a five-year stint at a company was frowned upon.
But, the more I looked into it, the more it made sense that if I wanted to challenge myself, job hopping is what I needed to do. Not the changing jobs every month or every year kind of hopping, but the strategic and well-thought-out job-hopping plan.
Needless to say, after taking the plunge, I can now proudly call myself a T-Marketer, and there has never been a better time and need for T-marketers today.
