What efficient research tools do you use?
Usually after 2-3 years I'll evaluate where I am at my current company and start to think about finding a new job. It's important to make sure that you're learning new things and being challenged wherever you're working so I like to make sure that I'm never too comfortable wherever I'm working. The only time that I'd be willing to stay longer is if I new that I had a promotion coming in the near future.

I think it really depends on the job and the company. With the knowledge that the Hiring Budget is always larger than the Retention Budget. So switching jobs allowed you to build wealth more quickly.
This fall will be 11 years for me at my job. But I have an extremely niche job so finding another would take moving.
But I have no qualms interviewing someone who "job hopped" every few years. Especially if they have stellar reviews.
But I don't discount those that stayed where they were.
I've been with the same company for almost 30 years. If it isn't broken, why try to fix it?
That does sound quite draining. We had a lot of medical students coming in, and it takes time to show them the ropes. Particularly when things get busy! Number if times I got pulled away, then had to find them, give them things to do, got so hectic
Although I might add, I was there only 2-3 years ago myself. And now have this fancy title, which nobody seems to question. People aren’t born in senior roles, and for me part of seniority is taking on the difficult but also important and rewarding task of tutelage
I felt like a proud father seeing the students I taught get better, and progress onwards. If you really care about the profession, you’ll take the time to ensure it will be in good hands long after you’re gone :)
I don't know why so many people think they have to move to another company after just a few years. It's like everyone in the labor force has ADHD. Why can't they be content doing a good job in a company that respects their abilities and pays them fairly? In my opinion, there is no such thing as being at a company "too long." When I see an applicant that has only worked at 1 or 2 companies in 10 years, I think they have more "stick-to-itiveness" than those with five or six jobs in a decade.
Horses for courses. You can attain any of comfort, routine, mastery, or hierarchy by being in a position for a ‘long’ time
Whereas others can desire new challenges, skills to develop, increase industry contacts; even personal developments in life stimulate career change eg. marriage or family illness
For me, I’d think hard after say 5y in the same place. You want to eat spaghetti every day for the rest of your life, go ahead lol, I won’t judge, but some people wanna have tacos next 🤣🤣
Job hopping is a deal breaker for me. Training people costs time, money, and resources. What is the point of hiring someone who has shown a consistent pattern of leaving within ten years? I would rather hire someone who is going to stick around long-term. You are an investment, and I don't run a charity.
