I’ve never considered myself a job hopper… I stayed with my first company for 4 years… my second company for 6… did a 1 year advisor development program… then 5 years at my current firm…
For me, it came down to growth… either personally or professionally… if I was growing then that’s a reason for me to stay… for me it was never about the money… money is great, don’t get me wrong… but finding a good fit at a firm is hard, and when you do find it, your more likely to stay happy, work hard (because you want to), and receive promotions…
If you hop around, it always becomes about a promotion or the money… if you don’t give it time, you’ll just always be frustrated… promotions happen in time, and with that more money… that’s just how it works…
I won’t hire anyone who’s had more than 3 different jobs in 5 years or 4 different jobs in 10 years… it’s not worth my time investment and the capital investment…
Great info, thanks for sharing
I think for us oldies, we were taught early in life that loyalty to your company was something to be admired and respected. I don’t know if I can speak for everyone, but I think that was terrible life lesson. Somebody should have taught companies to be more loyal and appreciative to their employees.
For your predicament, you just have to the weigh out the various factors that mean more to you and do what’s best for you. What’s more important…a great team and working environment with little to no pay raise or potentially more money and advancement? You can certainly have both, but even thats a crapshoot. Lol
Haha very true! And agree with your points about companies being loyal to employees. It’s rare to feel like your valued at a company these days
Make a list of your priorities in a job. Rank or give them values, and see how your current job delivers. You can use that when figuring out whether it makes more sense to stay or go.
I've been very frustrated with office politics at times, but my lowest pay increase over the past 6 years has been 9%. As long as that continues, I'm not going anywhere.
7% 401k match and 10% profit sharing. I’ll stay until I retire for that.

The benefits at my company are amazing. Point blank period.

I’m giving them until my vesting period is met (2028) if I’m not in a new role by then I will be leaving.

I don’t job hop right now since the 401k and benefits are good. I love my team as well.
