Earlier in my career I job hopped quite a bit, staying at a job for about a year (they've always been data jobs). It may have hurt my chances in some ways where potential employers worried about my loyalty. However, the amount of experience and learning I've gained by having 4 different jobs in 4 years is incomparable. I would've had 4 years of nearly the same experience if I had stayed at my first job. Now I often think about how differently I would have set things up at my first orgs. Or I think about all the problems I struggled with, which I would now confidently suggest solutions to.
I've had 6 jobs since 2018, I'm sure some hiring managers tossed my resume for loyalty concerns, but plenty seem to only care if you have the skills and ability to contribute.
I’m an Enterprise Technical Architect with 20+ years experience, but have been an architect in many arenas, first Data, then Application, then Network, then Security, then Infrastructure, and so forth. I have NEVER worked at any organization where an architect was hired before the organizational processes were a cluster F, most often caused by their complete lack of process definitions and/or technical implementation knowledge. They always attempt to make a developer do architecture, who fails expectedly, before they are willing to incur the cost of an architect.
Hey there, i haven't watched many of your videos yet but i feel like i'll be hanging around for a while since i believe i finally found my calling. As to the video topic, there are a lot of DE vacancies open paying decent amount of salary so change in this line of work shouldn't be a scary thing at all if you really know your thing.
I just take my easy paychecks and buy real estate. I've been doing this since 2016. Soon I'll never have to ask for vacation time or deal with terrible corporate policies that don't make sense. Instead of climbing a corporate ladder, I'll just buy the corporate ladder and they can pay me rent.
