The Best Time of Year to Quit Your Job

from Job Hopping with Fexingo: Tenure, Loyalty, and the Modern Career Resume · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna dig into the data on seasonal quitting patterns — why January and September are peak resignation months, how hiring cycles align with the calendar, and what timing says about your leverage. They examine a 2024 workforce study showing that employees who quit in Q1 landed 14% higher salary bumps on average than those who quit in Q4. Plus they discuss the hidden costs of quitting in December (bonus clawbacks, PTO forfeiture) and why August resignations often get buried by summer slowdown. A practical guide to picking your quit date like a pro. #JobHopping #ResignationTiming #QuitYourJob #CareerStrategy #SalaryNegotiation #HiringCycle #Q1Quits #DecemberBonuses #PTOForfeiture #PeakResignationMonth #WorkforceData #2024Study #JobMarketTiming #TwoWeeksNotice #CounterofferSeason #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
