That's the reality of having 1 year of experience in Canada. I'll probably get a raise soon. I hope so at least
At two years experience, start job hunting. Your pay bump from leaving will be better than anything you make by staying.
My best recommendation is to look for a new job after 2 years. You will have good experience after that. You will have proven you can make it if you last two years. Other companies like that. So start looking around after 2 years. When I did, I doubled my salary.
I was planning to stay for a little bit longer, maybe 3 or 4 years. I think it adds confidence to the new employer that im just here to stay for a year and move on - it costs them money to keep hiring people so it's kind of an assurance that I won't immediately leave. Also I don't have a bachelor's degree. I have a degree that is officially recognised by the government but it's just a step below a bachelor's degree so I want to put all my chances on my side
I didn't have a degree either. Many companies are hurting for programmers. If they can pay one for even a year before they move on, they get good value from that. Almost everyone in the IT industry says you should job hop every two years until you settle down.
Besides, you can look for a new job while on your current job. You don't need to guess and hope that someone will hire you at a better wage. You can just go see. And keep your current job while you're at it.
That's true, at least now I'm not desperate, so I can be a lot more picky. I've gotten good comments from coworkers at my job so I'm confident I will be able to find something when I'm ready. Still looking at 3-4 years I think it will be more credible especially in the currentl economy where businesses tend to be more conservative with hiring and finances
