Everything depends on the context. Your only reason to leave was money and your only reason to stay was money?

Then yes, you'll likely be perceived as an attrition risk (since it's fairly easy to find higher paying jobs if you are continuously searching) which can have some negative consequences such as hindering career movement.

For example, management may not want to align you to high impact / value work since now they know you aren't very committed to the company and are more likely to not stick around for the duration of the engament.

Meaning the folks who get placed in those roles instead of you might get more opportunities and thus more advancement than you will

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
