Yeah, what Grant noted. If you're not satisfied in your job, the best time to look and change is when you can do so without pressure.Many people take the first job offered, because they need it. Bills to pay, uncertainty, stress, etc. That's letting your career just randomly fall from job to job. If you want to move, and there's nothing wrong with this, move.
As my grandfather once told me don't drop your current girlfriend until you find a new one.
I'm not sure the analogy here is the same as the one for jobs. So, you're saying a guy should have a new girlfriend in the pipeline before he breaks up their old one? Before my married life, I sort of liked having the brief periods of unattachment in between, because it gave me some time to decompress and make a clean break before starting something new. 🙂
Well, this is the same grandfather who told me to "never dip your pen in the company inkwell", so take it for what it's worth.
