Is there still a stigma around job hopping? Would you be more hesitant to hire someone if it seems like the candidate has moved around a lot and only has short stints at companies?

I don't have anything to say if there is a stigma, I'd just be impressed you're getting multiple job offers in short periods of time in this horrific market

Even if there was a stigma, the stigma will cost you far less than the gains you would get from job-hopping.

As someone who did this there are up sides and downsides.
1. Much larger network if you manage to stay in touch with past coworkers.
2. Inconsistent ways of working and mentorship can make it difficult to grow.
3. Stigma or not you will need to answer for your time and some companies will not believe you are ready for a long term commitment.
4. Potential short term 1-33 year gains on salary with your peers catching up or passing you in -/+ 5 years.
5. Real leadership positions are community and relationship based and are more likely to be from internal favorites rather than the risky project to project mindset of job hopping.

It’s about the people not the work. Do what you must to survive but money is pretend, and at a certain level the Taxes take most of the gravy you think you would have anyways.

Jump for leadership not for dollars.

I just got laid off from my job as a gov contractor because the project I was working on ended. I’m currently a grad student part time and was hoping to work that job until finishing grad school before applying to consulting roles. Should I go ahead and try applying for those roles now since I don’t have a job? Or should I wait since I’m still in school until next May?

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

How do you know you’re a good designer? I get most of my ideas from being inspired by other work and just creating what I feel looks good. I know how to use design programs. But, I don’t know if that’s enough.
