I have been a job hopper in last 3 years since I have graduated from college. I’ve just hit my 1 year and have had a very positive experience. However, I have just received an offer at a FAANG company that would be more than twice my salary. Is it worth switching again? Do you think it would be worth it? Pro’s and Con’s?

Yes take it. The whole generation job hops. Everyone knows that’s how you get raises. Now you don’t admit this in front of interviewers so you come up with a BS story about more responsibility more interesting projects etc.

Thank you!

Job hopping is meta now

For twice your salary that is a no brainer, jump.

Do it man. Early career hops are fine - recruiters/hiring managers understand that internal salary bumps do not keep pace with the market.

Booz to FAANG? You really are hopping just for money?

Bro/sis what do you do? Very curious!

Analytics!

If you do take it, settle down with FAANG for a bit.

Hey! I've always wanted to get into IB (prestige, money, you name it), however now that I'm in a more laid back environment (better WLB, "easier work") it doesn't seem as attractive as before and the pay is quite good for an analyst level (I think the pay is competitive even comparing with IB's pay in my country) . I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
