For better opportunities no. If they/you are contracting, no. In most cases, no. You don’t owe corporations anything, they’ll lay you off anyway.

I’m not a contractor. Just better opportunities came in that’s why thanks for your reply !

Every job switch affects your resume. Not staying on a job for a longer time used to be a problem, now is a little bit the new normal.
So try to make your next switch for a place that you are happy for a longer time; or at least a valuable experience even if short, so you can "sell" yourself for the learning.

It is ok to have 1 or 2 short stay positions on your resume, but don't hop too often or it will appear that you have no staying power or ability to be a long term contributor. Also don't hop for anything less than +10% compensation.

I don't think so...I think 2 years is probs the better time to switch. Pretty sure there was a study that said if you stay past 3 years, you're being underpaid by your current company

I’m already underpaid so I think you are right thanks !

I think that 1 year is enough provided that you made some contribution and did not bail on a team in the heat of driving to a milestone. Anything less than 1 year would require a good reason.

Switching jobs frequently (every 1-1.5 years) can be seen as a red flag to some employers, as it may suggest that the candidate lacks commitment or is unable to stay in one role long enough to make a significant impact. However, there are some circumstances where switching jobs frequently may be viewed more positively, such as:

Gaining a diverse range of experience: If you are able to take on different roles or work in different industries through your job switches, this can be viewed as a strength and may make you more attractive to employers looking for candidates with a broad range of skills and experiences.

Advancing your career: If you are able to move up the career ladder or take on more responsibility with each job switch, this can also be viewed positively, as it demonstrates your ability to take on new challenges and grow professionally.

Adapting to changing circumstances: In some cases, job switches may be necessary due to factors beyond your control, such as company restructuring, layoffs, or personal circumstances that require a change in location or job type.
