I wanted to get some feedback from the officer.com community on changing jobs while applying to LEO positions. I am currently going through the hiring process for FAMS and Border Patrol. I currently work at a job that I hate but I have been with my company for close to 5 years. I am a sales manager and may have an opportunity to go to another company in a different industry. The money would be at least the same (possibly 10-20% more depending on performance because of bonuses and profit sharing) and the hours and work/life balance would be better. Neither job is in a field related to law enforcement.
What impact if any will being at a job for only a few months as opposed to 5 years have on my chances of getting into a FLEO job?
