And how many raises that agency has given to those that are loyal. It’s not your fault the model is set up to reward agencies for being cheap AF until they have to hire outside talent when people leave.
This.
Oh, like agencies are loyal to us. 🙄
Job hop as much as you need to. I would say though, just make sure you're actually growing along the way and learning before you move on.
Go for it.
And kindly ask the recruiter how many layoffs this agency has had in the last 3.5 years? It’s a two way street. People leave jobs for certain reasons and agency’s let people go for certain reasons.
You leave before you have to reset your login password. I see the strategy.
Whenever someone questions me about my hopping, I say I am following sound advice from a revered professor of the Harvard MBA program who advised we should “Quit Early and Quit Often” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D73mm29XXAw). Usually shuts them up pretty quickly.

I’m a job hopper (8 jobs in 12 years) and it has yet to fuck me over
Change some of your shortest stints to “freelance”
Change all of them to informational interviews.
Theres still a perception out there that switching jobs a lot could be a red flag (hence the recruiter being tough on you). Layoffs happen a lot thats true—but if thats not what happened to you, you just leave jobs a lot, thats not what people like to hear when theyre hiring someone.
You dont wanna be known as flighty or a quitter or someone who “jumps” just for titles (its kind of a dick move)...even though in general everyone’s advice will be “sure, do whatever you want.”
It really doesn't have anything to do with how often agencies play people off, but how many jobs over an extended period you have compared to other candidates you're competing with for future positions.
If the other applicants have fewer jobs over the same time period (and most people will have fewer than five in 3.5 years) you're going to need to be demonstrably superior in some other way.
You might get the title but will you have the experience?
Right no sense in being the SVP of Everything if you’re going to leave the company before the welcome lunch.
That’s hustling backwards to me.
Staying in a job for an average of 8 months is troublesome to future employers.
Why not!
Go for it.

I used to move every two years... sometimes faster. The last job I stayed way toooooo long. Lesson learned. I was completely fuckin bored.
The digital agency world is not one that creates positions that can last 5-10 years. Most agencies turnover staff every 3-4 years.
Go for it if it's a better job and you want it.
I’m about to start interviewing for my 6th job since graduating 6 years ago (HATE my current job). Some have been layoffs, some have been internal restructures I didn’t agree with, some have been bad culture fits, and some have been poaching. All I know is job hopping has helped me increase my salary over $25k+, put some cool diverse projects in my portfolio, and allowed me to figure out my must haves where I work.
Just saying sometimes hopping can be good for your career. As long as you do good work and you have a rational explanation behind your hopping, the right agency will understand.
