Comment on the best time to find another job is when you already have one. How does it look like in your case?

I would just browse Indeed on my work computer. I didn’t tell anyone I was looking, but there are a few people that I wouldn’t lie to them about it if they asked.
Honestly, I think you’re overthinking it. What are they going to do? Fire you because they don’t want to lose you? That’s a valid unemployment claim.

I’ve done this every time I’ve looked for a job. If it’s the kind of company that would snoop on my browsing history and cause issues, it would just have motivated me to look harder 🙃
I’m speaking from my 20+ years of experience in tech, so this advice might not apply anywhere, but I’ve found the fastest way to keep increasing your salary is to switch jobs every couple of years. I usually got bored of a job in a couple of years anyway, so this also helped prevent burnout. Additionally, switching jobs at leisure like this meant I could negotiate new salaries harder at the new place and didn’t need to try and change jobs during an economic downturn or a bad job market.
Oh, and I’ve always regretted staying on in a company too long once I get the itch so I’d recommend starting a hunt as soon as you think a change might be good instead of waiting till you start hating your job!
