A hiring manager once told me they prefer candidates who’ve switched jobs every few years because “it shows they’ve seen things”. I used to think job hopping was risky, but now I see how it can build perspective. What’s your take is it a red flag or sign of growth?

I think it used to be a big red flag but nowadays it’s so common that it’s not a problem. I think switching every year is a problem.

I experienced first hand that it is a good thing, as long as you stay long enough to build something meaningful, both from a technical / business and relationship perspective!

How long do you feel that usually takes? Do you stay internal?
