I think it really depends on how you define "job hopping". It's much more common nowadays to switch jobs every couple of years than it was in the past, so most employers don't really bother with that too much anymore. But if you're changing jobs after less than a year and are doing so regularly, then that's almost definitely going to be a red flag. If you're lucky enough to get a call back, be ready with a really good (believable) explanation for the lack of staying power.

Honestly, job hopping is so common especially with Gen Z, with many of them leaving jobs within a year or less. The attitudes of job hoping are surely changing. And they have to change, especially with this especially tight job market! Of course explain why you’ve left, but I think hiring managers and even recruiters are beginning to understand the value in having diverse experience!

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?
