If you had to decide this year, would you stay in your job… or is it time to start looking?
2026 is shaping up to be the year of job hugging.
Some of our career experts weighed in on whether staying put or job hunting makes more sense right now.
So tell us — Team Hug or Team Hunt??

It's about hugging and consolidating skills for me. The job market seems a bit scary right now, so I'd rather focus internally.

Customer Service Representative
I’m in retail as a retail associate. In this job 3 years.I get annoyed along with my other friends / colleagues at work about our working conditions sometimes. This job is 5 mins from home for me.We have also been under staffed at times. I believe in tough times it’s better the devil you know, than going to somewhere it might be much worse. It’s also better if you are already employed while looking for another job too.
