If you were a hiring manager how much would you look down upon someone only being at a company for 5-6 months? Even if it were leaving to pursue something different temporarily to come back to consult

One such entry on a CV could be forgivable if there's a good story & reason behind it. But multiple instances represent a pattern of behavior that would concern me.

I wouldn’t ”look down upon it”, I just wouldn’t hire the person. It’s nothing personal, but finding talent is a ton of work. If I hire someone I want to believe they will be here for at least 3 years.

Yea, and if it doesn’t work out and you circle back, stick around for a few years.

If it’s just the last job, I’d just want to know why. If it’s habitual, it’s a red flag.

I was talking to a friend in HR and basically everything is a red flag in her eyes. If they left too soon, they’ll do it again. If they haven’t moved in a while, why are they suddenly trying to move, and will they be able to adjust? If they quit a job without another lined up, that means they have the means to walk away because they’re bored-can’t have that.

I’m sick of this nonsense. Doing it once shouldn’t be an issue. Doing it multiple times- definitely.

Also, I think moving around within consulting firms can be explained much more easily. It's different than hopping around industry jobs.

It’s a good opportunity for you to ask them why

For me to ask who why?
