I was planning to stay for a little bit longer, maybe 3 or 4 years. I think it adds confidence to the new employer that im just here to stay for a year and move on - it costs them money to keep hiring people so it’s kind of an assurance that I won’t immediately leave. Also I don’t have a bachelor’s degree. I have a degree that is officially recognised by the government but it’s just a step below a bachelor’s degree so I want to put all my chances on my side
I didn’t have a degree either. Many companies are hurting for programmers. If they can pay one for even a year before they move on, they get good value from that. Almost everyone in the IT industry says you should job hop every two years until you settle down.
Besides, you can look for a new job while on your current job. You don’t need to guess and hope that someone will hire you at a better wage. You can just go see. And keep your current job while you’re at it.
