Is job hopping considered a horrible thing for your career? I was at my first job for 2 years and been at my current one for 9 months and I’m looking for a change since it’s not a good fit.

I got the advice when I was in the similar situation that there’s no point in wasting time in a role that you’re not getting anything out of. If you’re not learning and then it doesn’t make sense to just hang out in a shitty role so your resume looks good

I think you’re good. I was at my first job 6 months, second job 2.5 years and it’s never been an issue. It’s super normal, and 2 years is a long time for our industry

Earlier in your career it is OK, but I shy away from candidates that jump ship every 1-2 years as they mature. Usually a sign that they are no good and cannot get career traction anywhere, so they keep starting over or making horizontal changes. If it is a clear progression, that is different.

Could be, yes. It can take some digging to get through title inflation, but if someone is moving up rapidly with increasing responsibilities and results to show for it then that is different

@President so in your view if a person switches every 1-2 years, but for higher positions, that would considered acceptable?

What do you think about switching tech stacks vs becoming an expert in one stack? I am a backend Java engineer, and have solely used Java since I've started my software engineering career about 2 years ago. I don't know whether I should explore other tech stacks while I'm young, or instead focus on becoming a Java expert, given that I enjoy working in Java.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
