Just realized my old boss in Chicago gave me advice that feels wrong now
He told me to never leave a job before hitting the 2 year mark, no matter what. I stuck it out at a bad help desk role for 23 months just to hit that number. Now I see people switching jobs faster and getting bigger raises. Is the two-year rule still solid advice, or is it outdated? What's your take on job hopping timelines now?

23 months at a bad job" is wild, that rule really made you suffer.

Honestly, did that rule ever really make sense? I used to believe in sticking it out too, but watching friends move jobs after a year for 20% more pay changed my mind. Tbh @janaa52 is right, suffering through a bad role just to hit some random number is pointless now. The market moves fast, and if you're not growing or learning, you're just wasting time. Loyalty feels like it only goes one way these days.
