Congratulations! You just got a new job! You’re probably not realizing this yet, but someday you will be leaving this job and applying for a new one. And it will probably be sooner than you realize.

Millennials in particular are notorious for job hopping. One study from LinkedIn estimates that you’re likely to have about four job changes by the time you turn 32. There’s nothing wrong with changing jobs or at least looking for a new one.

Here are two reasons why searching for a new job makes sense:

1. You want a career change soon.

According to the previous study, the new normal is for Millennials to try out a few different jobs before settling in a permnanant career. A new career can also be a viewed as a good thing. When you have a career change, you might move to a new industry that will respect you more and potentially pay you more money.

Some people think that college is all about training for a specific job. The reality is that college is more like training for a career. And as industries evolve over time, a career change could seem likely. For example, if you went to college to study about print publishing, then it might be difficult to get a career in that field because the industry is diminishing. It might be wise to switch to an expanding industry, such as renewable energy.

More people are changing careers now than ever before.

2. You want more money.

To build your wealth, you need to increase your income every year. If your current job does not provide an annual raise to at least cover the cost of inflation, then it might be time to search for a new job.

Even if you don’t leave your company immediately, you can at least begin your search on websites like Indeed, Glassdoor and LinkedIn. In addition, you can also participate in networking events that involve rival companies. If a rival company is also hiring, they might interview you and make you an offer with a better salary.

Another way to potentially increase your job income is to have a career change.

Either way, you should be focused on improving your wealth — and your happiness — each year.
