Answer 1

First of all, take the time and effort to learn how to write or it will hold you back professionally, both because your resume will be unreadable and because higher positions in most businesses require the ability to write reports.

Never tell your boss you might quit before you are ready to or they will stop promoting you. Why give you a better spot if you're going to leave?

Now...what you should do.

One year isn't a lot of experience but if you really are as good as you say, you should already be getting raises. Employers in most professions do not like people who change jobs often, so your boss is right in that you should probably put in at least another year.

The exception would be if they are making you miserable, not paying you market rates, etc. Yes, this does mean that if another company will give you a big pay hike to switch, that IS reason enough to switch, just don't do it too often.

When you want to test the market (and yes, you can do this at any time in your career), go apply for jobs with other companies that you would like to have. Find out what makes them different (do you get to learn more things) and whether or not you can progress your career with them.

Keep in mind that you should not have to keep switching companies to get ahead and make more money. Good companies that are run by smart people realize it is better to train and trust an existing employee, then hire a new and unproven one. With this in mind, you should also make it known you'd like to get ahead where you are at too.

IF you get a good offer from another company, then you go to your boss and give your two week notice (do not do this until you have a firm offer in your hand). Sometimes they will counter with a raise or promotion to keep you.

You sound very young and your team leader is wise to suggest you still have a lot to learn and that the more you know, the more valuable you are to whichever company you work for.

Answer 2

Your team leader is correct. You should have more than just a year under your belt before you move on to another job in the same position. It shows loyalty, commitment, and dependability on your behalf. Now, your team leader may have his own reasons for you wanting to stay also... but the truth is he is basically correct. Money isn't always everything. If you stay for at least another year or more... where will you be? Is there growth potential with the company you are with now? You could be making a lot more money if you stay. If you leave for the other company, they may start you at a higher pay... but do they offer enough incentive and growth potential to make the switch a "smart move" for you? These are things you have to consider...
We may all work for money, but remember the story of the Tortoise & the Hare... If you skip through high paying jobs too often, future possible employers will recognize that on your resume. If you take it slow, still make good money, but are able to move up within the same company before looking around... this will look like a you are responsible person on your resume.

Answer 3

Dear friend,
As you explain, I think you may be valuable to the company where you are working now because you are working hard and meeting the target or satisfying your customers. That's so good thing in your career, keep it up.

On the other hand, you can think from your side too. You are working hard to earn, If the company agrees to pay you more up to your satisfaction, better you stay with this company and get one more year experience. Its better because, it will take some time for you to cope with a new company and atmosphere there. Or else if you are shifting to a new company where you will get some better experience in some better area, then thats better.

So, its now you to chose...

Answer 4

We are all working for gain.So quit. It's so easy to answer.But one year is just very short.Gaining experience and working to achieve a position is rather very difficult.You are working well and gets appreciated and rewarded it's very good.You work hard and try to win higher position which will increase your loyalty as well as pay in the long run.Currently reputation is very important in corporate world.Job hopping is disregarded by most of the companies.All are looking for a loyal and dedicated person who may be or may not be that efficient.

Answer 5

Considering the carer growth,
if there is long term potential in your present company
or elsewhere, you can remain or join that company.Its not
just the hike that shapes your carer.

Answer 6
