Am I being stupid?

Since 2018 I've worked 3 jobs. Bouncing around from banking and consulting. At each job I've been in the role of a data scientist and or engineer.

Another offer has fallen into my lap. (I didn't apply, an old professor recommended me. After a few convos they offered me) I was offered with a 25% bump, better benefits, and better WLB.

With my record of bouncing around, would this be dumb for me to take? I've been at Deloitte just shy of 1 year.

It seems like a self-correcting problem. Some for later you’ll stop getting offers because of all the jumping - at which point you’ll stay in one place for a while…

Maybe that's a good way of thinking about it. I hadn't considered that. Thank you friend.

Take it. Job hopping is meta now. Staying at one company for 10 years is an old geezer mentality

Just take it - it'll all be fine. Your moving isn't that much more frequent than a lot of other people early in their career.

Thank you friend.

Not stupid, friend.

In the scheme of things, multiple job changes won't matter all that much. The more important factor is what story you want to be able to tell. Does the new opportunity get you closer to the work you want to be doing long term?

Take it

Moving around usually would accelerate your TC. I would say do this for a bit but aim to reach a stable position in 10 years or so with some leadership role visibility. People tend to move around a lot early and late into their career , but middle portion is alot of building on reputation to secure that c-suite or exec position and then move around to increase TC

More money is never stupid. Congrats!!!

What is the company at the new job like? Stable company? Good culture? Is it a promotion? I have no issue with jumping as long as it's not to a place you will be miserable or lose job security

First thing I look at on resume is how much people jump. Many do (I did a few years ago, with 3 companies). I think you are fine now but at some point you need to put a few years in one place. Seeing someone who has moved 10 time in 10 years (I have even seen worse) tells me the person I might onboard may not be a good investment. I hired some of them early on and became 11. YMMV.
