Your Career Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint

Young workers in a competitive culture often expect their careers to reach their height in a short time. Younger generations bounce from job to job, maybe viewing their jobs as mere stepping stones toward better salaries and job titles.

But this perpetual rat race can lead to burnout and disillusionment. It's better to regard careers with a long view.

If you're in a rush to move up, you could risk losing out on opportunities within your reach. Focusing on your current job will allow your skills to develop, while chasing new jobs may weaken your skills instead of growing them.

Most Millenials stay at their jobs for an average of four years. That is enough to master a trade before you feel the need to move on. If you feel you're being nurtured and treated fairly, it's better to wait for the right opportunity.
