Plan on leaving my role soon after a year and a half ish. Should I simply wait until the new year when hiring should (I hope so) pick up soon?

To everyone commenting this - I’m constantly connected with our team throughout the day (micromanaging to the max) and don’t have time to be interviewing during normal working hours. I have already started the search in terms of narrowing down my target companies and sending out resumes, but besides brief intro calls I don’t have time to go through longer calls like mocks. It looks like my current company only has a few months of runaway as is

Now is a great time to START your job search. Make calls, get interviews, etc.. No one will make a decision till after Jan 1, but if you get started NOW, your search will be shorter come the new year.

Hold your horses, Bucky. You can't quit before you've got something else. I mean, you can, but you give up all leverage to negotiate a better starting comp plan... and... yeah... don't.

Nothing wrong with starting your job search now. It may take some time to find the next role. Also - braintank is 100% right. Don't jump until you have the next role secured.

Start working on the resume researching roles and save them on LinkedIn and when you’re ready go back and apply to all of them that are still available

New job offer expiring tonight, still waiting on a counter offer from my current company. What’s the move?

I was hired at a really good start up about 4 months ago for a SDR role that I was told I wouldn’t be in for very long. They’re gonna go public in the next year, but Zoom Info reached out to me about an Account exec position. Now I’m wondering if I should take the guaranteed route to AE or let my shares vest and get to AE at the place that took me. Usually I wouldn’t consider jumping so quickly, but AE is AE.
