Boomers really don't understand job hopping people need to do to increase their salaries (hexbear.net)

So yeah title says it all, currently around 8 months into a new hospital position and I've been extending my feelers out and doing job apps and got back invites to the start of preliminary interviews for some other jobs (mainly cuss there is likely going to be no significant pay raises for all us new hires until 2 years out so fuck that).

Bring this up to parents though and they have the weirdest attitude as though I'm betraying my company as well as shooting myself in the foot even though if I got some of these positions I'm interviewing for I'd see a huge pay bump and really good benefits (one of them is a state gig and has a damned good pension plan with only 5 years to be vested fully).

Depending on what industry you work in, you either gotta be ready to job hop or get fucked over by restructuring. I made the mistake of trying to make good on a commitment to a job. Now I've been jobless for months and trying back into retail until something good opens up near me.

I'm in healthcare so it's a special level of Hell I unwisely chose to get educated in, hoping to move into a state job in the next couple months.
