Is it a red flag if I job hopped every year? Should I stay at my current company for 2-3 years before job hopping again?

It used to be but nowadays people are hopping more frequently

2-3 years without promotion is probably fine.

I don’t hire anybody that job hops frequently unless they have a great reason. It’s too much effort to train for them to just leave

It really depends on the market, we offer above market comp so it hasn’t been too challenging

How many times have you switched jobs every year? I definitely ask candidates why they’ve jumped so much when I do interviews if I see that they’ve switched jobs every year for 2-3+ years. Their response is critical for me.

As an experienced, SHRM certified HRBP , I would just like some feedback on your opinion of the differences in the roles between an HRBP an HR Manager besides the obvious that the manager should have direct reports.

I am quite aware of our HR code that salary is confidential but I was told about this. Would you be looking for other employment? Or stay?
