Discussion on: They say search for a new job while you still have your old job. But when do you think you should start looking?

I recently moved from a job I liked to a job I'm really liking now. For me, it was all down to the recruiter. They were actually a friend who floated some ideas to me, and I did some interviews and take home tasks but had no plans to leave my job. I'd been there 3 years and I felt they really valued me. But one of the places I interviewed with just felt really good. The interviewers were great, the task was enjoyable and the tech interview was actually fun. They ended up making me a really good offer and I took it.

I think you should definitely start looking while you still have a job, see what's out there and how the industry in your area is going. If you can find a recruiter you trust, you're golden.

Good Luck!
