Should Job Changes be Avoided in a Slowing Economy?
The effects of a slowing economy often include uncertainty and fear that give rise to hesitancy to make any job changes.But a slowing economy has an upside. Any new jobs created in lean times are likely to be strategic ones, because companies cannot afford to create lesser ones. Taking such jobs can be a positive career move, therefore, even if the economic times seem to recommend staying put. In addition, companies that can still afford to hire during such times are more likely to be well led and positioned for growth when the economy recovers.
Bucking the conventional wisdom in this case therefore can lead to superior opportunities for advancement.
