So yeah title says it all, currently around 8 months into a new hospital position and I've been extending my feelers out and doing job apps and got back invites to the start of preliminary interviews for some other jobs (mainly cuss there is likely going to be no significant pay raises for all us new hires until 2 years out so fuck that).

Bring this up to parents though and they have the weirdest attitude as though I'm betraying my company as well as shooting myself in the foot even though if I got some of these positions I'm interviewing for I'd see a huge pay bump and really good benefits (one of them is a state gig and has a damned good pension plan with only 5 years to be vested fully).

Yeah I have absolutely no qualms about saying ignore your parents, they're completely wrong.

Interviewers do not give a fuck about the length of time you stayed anywhere. They care about solely about skills, experience and whether the personality of the person will fit into whatever culture they have going on. What managers actually give a fuck about is whether or not the new hire will make their life easier or harder, if you clearly come across as someone that will make their life easier they will hire you.
