Masterclass Recommendation
“ Someone asked Jack Ma about millennial job hopping in Davos’19. His reflections were noteworthy. He recommended that millennials stay in their jobs for at least 3 years, learn and then think about moving on. I believe the genesis of his view comes from personal experience.
Ma trained to become a high school teacher, something he had no interest in. He kept thinking that the day he graduates, he will move on to other things after completing the bare minimum teaching requirements. At that time in China, graduates were mandated by law to so. On the day of graduation, his university president met him at the gate and asked him to stick it out in the school for 6 long years. Reluctantly he agreed and kept the promise. Those 6 years calmed him down. He learned from his students and empowered them to be their best, a precious skill as a CEO.
Daniel Pink’s research suggests that the ideal time to quit is after 3 or 5 years. That’s the timeframe when past experience is long enough to be considered relevant but not too long that the candidate is married to the company.
While research and advice from stalwarts like Jack Ma has a lot of merit, it is important that we remember that the timeframes are suggestive, not prescriptive. It goes without saying that if the work environment is toxic and/or there is a mismatch of values, one should move on without batting an eyelid.”
