Do you ever worry about looking like you’re job hopping? I know people are saying that switching companies has become more common and widely accepted, but I feel like it’s different in this industry.

A former manager of mine hopped to 3 different companies in 3 years, spending less than 1 year at one of the companies. She also hopped her way up the ladder during that time from a Sr PM to a VP. Sometimes, you just have to do what makes sense for your career and hope the hiring team sees and understands why you made the moves you made.

I don't look like I am job hopping, I am a professional job hopper. I feel like its widely accepted. Nobody has even really questioned it as far as my resume goes.

Goldman queried mine which is where OP works!

I feel like it's the opposite, actually. Seems like it's common, acceptable and almost even expected to jump around in our industry.

Depends on if you are staying at a place for 2-4 years and leaving or leaving every 9 months. Nobody expects anyone to work at a firm for 10+ years anymore.

I think this generaiton of employees is expected to have one-two job hopping moments

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
