I have an offer to hop from a mid 20 accounting firm to a consulting firm for a sizable pay raise, (kinda) OT pay, more interesting work, etc. I want to take it but am concerned that being in my current role for just under a year will get me labeled as a job hopper. I plan on staying at the new job for at least a few years if that makes a difference. Any advice on if taking the job will hurt me down the road?

Who cares what they’ll call you. You hop like a rabbit and get the job you want.

Definitely take it… sounds like you’d regret it if you didn’t and this isn’t a strong enough reason to stay imo

The hiring company obviously doesn’t care, if they gave you an offer. So as you said, it’s more about how long you stay at the next job. And even then, if your next job after that gives you an offer, again, obviously didn’t matter. So not sure who you’re worried about labeling you.

So you want to stay at a job so you don’t look like a job hopper for a future hypothetical job you may or may not get? If you want the job, I would take it! My friend has been at 4 different firms in the past 2 years and has taken more money and higher title each time, and she is a tax manager at pwc now. I think firms will understand if you network well since sooo many people are changing jobs right now.

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities.

I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.
