So yeah title says it all, currently around 8 months into a new hospital position and I've been extending my feelers out and doing job apps and got back invites to the start of preliminary interviews for some other jobs (mainly cuss there is likely going to be no significant pay raises for all us new hires until 2 years out so fuck that).

Bring this up to parents though and they have the weirdest attitude as though I'm betraying my company as well as shooting myself in the foot even though if I got some of these positions I'm interviewing for I'd see a huge pay bump and really good benefits (one of them is a state gig and has a damned good pension plan with only 5 years to be vested fully).

    job hopping also kills any possibility of union building so no matter what you do you are still being played by capitalist interests. you're not being a fucking rebel by getting 5% more of your surplus value after moving halfway across the country

      Yeah it's not rebellion but it does have an upward effect. Be nice if people just stayed put and massively bullied the boss collectively instead of very slightly bullying the boss on their own

      If it involves a move, it needs to be for substantial gain of some kind: moving is expensive af with all the fees and time it takes even if the rent/mortgage on the new place is cheaper.
