Job Change Question Forum

[PeanutsNJam]

So my situation is that as of two weeks ago, I switched jobs from my previous boring old marketing job to a fun, exciting, challenging new private investment firm. Right from the get-go, I'm dumped into a big project involving tens of millions of dollars and I'm loving it. However, this was very, very unexpected (the VP reached out and was basically like "come work for me it'll be ezpznp dawg"). It's also a paid internship (which can become full-time if I'm not a turd), not a full-time paid gig like it was before. So in my apps/resume, I have everything set as "2013-present" for my previous job.

Should I leave it as is, include my sudden new job, or would it not matter?

Argument for "as is" - Shows consistency and perseverance, low risk. Less work. I already have my apps done I'm just working on my PS now, so I can click submit once that's over. I'd have to go back into my saved apps and change all that employment data. My new job is titled as an "internship".

Argument for "change it" - The new job is pretty badass and the projects/work that I'm doing are much more challenging/significant/relevant than before.

Default to what is true. Won't make a big difference one way or another

Something like this would only possibly be any factor whatsoever at Y and S and possibly even not there, so whatevs.

This is true. If you're Zuckerberging, you stand to profit in so many ways. If you're junior assistant on a $3mil deal that has nothing to do with you, meh.
