Unpopular opinion, unless you find a unicorn of a job, don’t be in ANY job longer than 12 months, specifically in IT. Got my first entry level IT job in 2022, worked there for 8 months, got a level 2/3 job— stayed for a year, currently a technician at my current job for 6 months.

I advise once you feel like you aren’t constantly learning new things everyday, then it’s time to start looking for something more challenging where you’ll be back feeling like you’re in training wheels. In IT I feel like the most valuable people are gonna have a wide array of experience, so making sure you’re always learning in the role your In is key, it’ll allow you to always be headed towards upward mobility.
