Probably "switch jobs often" but who knows, that might still be good advice.
I'm in IT. It's the advice I wish I'd followed from the beginning.
Once you get comfortable in your job and it becomes routine, you need to find a new one. Keep growing your skill set, and probably take a hefty raise each time.
Don't worry about being a job hopper - it resolves itself easily enough when you don't find the next position for a while.
That sounds super stressful to me and you need to have a lot of energy left after your workday to look for a new job. I'm so glad I don't have to do that
Try doing a bachelor next to you job. Dear God, do I long for some rest. I've been slacking on my studies lately, but I only have 50 EC left to do. Anyways, I've got no choice but to change jobs after I get my bachelor. Employers don't give proper raises, they only give unfair wage gaps to new employees. That s how you get the "I've worked here 30 years and the new college kid gets twice my salary" rethoric. That's sadly how it works. So eventhough I'll have my degree next year, I know I won't get paid for it unless I leave. I'll try, because I like my job, but I know they won't accept my offer.
