Is job hopping still a thing we need to worry about, or is it the best way to grow your career (and salary!) significantly now? I have been "hopping" every year or two and believe it is the best way to level up. Does our industry still see it as a red flag, or is the focus more on the experience gained? Curious for opinions and what you're seeing out there.

In today’s economy, companies don’t hesitate to make cuts when it suits them. Why shouldn’t we do the same for our own careers?

I think skills and experience often outweigh job loyalty, so if you can show that your moves have helped you grow and bring value to each role, you’ll probably be in the clear. Just make sure each jump is a strategic one & don’t hop just to hop. It’s about making the right moves at the right time

I’ve seen job hopping help folks build skills and boost salary fast, but I’ve also passed on resumes that show no long-term growth or commitment. If each move tells a clear story of progress, it can work. But if it looks random or reactive, hiring teams may still hesitate. Do you usually leave for growth or burnout?

I think in the current era moving from job to job doesn't have the stigma it would have had decades ago. But it can still look odd, depending on the circumstances. Potential employers may well wonder if someone couldn't get along in a job and moved for that reason, or whether they were really on a determined career advancement track.

Hey! We love your contributions. Send me a DM if you’re interested in bowl leadership!

Not a big red flag anymore. They’re probably seeing others do the same thing. There’s not much incentive to stay “loyal” to a company anymore so if you feel like you’ll be better compensated elsewhere, you should go for it.
