Is the old advice to change companies every two-ish years still the best practice for career advancement? by holdthemayo in c/experienced_devs@programming.dev

If the company offers no real growth technical, responsibility or compensation yes

For experienced devs, were you put on PIP early in your career? How did you bounce back from it to stay in the industry? by holdthemayo in c/experienced_devs@programming.dev

I wasn't PIP'ed but I was fired once early on I was put on projects I really shouldn't have tried my best but it wasn't enough

it hurt a lot at the time but I moved on and almost two decades later i'm now a 'top performer' and have successfully worked on many well known products

my advice is just to keep going in a few years you likely won't even remember this job
