The "1 year rule"
Posted: Thu May 25, 2017 5:54 am
Morning All,
I think most on this forum are seasoned professionals that can offer solid career advice. I currently am at an "Elite" global brand after having left another "Elite Global Brand" about 7 months ago. I now have an offer to go to a smaller less known company.
In my current position, I was promised a lot and expected a challenging position... But, it seems I was poached from my last company and am essentially doing data entry. I've always heard that you should stay in a position for a year no matter what, but I'm a little frustrated here (yes, I've made it clear to my managers that I want more responsibility) but I was shipped off to work on a client site and push buttons.
What are your overall thoughts? Outside of a "downgrade" in company status on my resume (trivial IMO)... Do you think that leaving prior to a year will really have a large impact career wise?
