This is the great resignation, right? Thoughts on jumping for the fourth time in seven years? I’m chasing the pay to get to where I want to be and have an offer but am getting reservations on making a move within a year. Appreciate any similar personal experience.

If you already have an offer, it means your potential employer doesn’t care that you’re moving within a year. I doubt your job record will matter much to future employers as long as you are able to justify each move.

Good point. I guess I’m concerned about this move not working for at least 3 years. It’s an e-commerce company and the recent downturn for tech companies is causing hesitation. I’ve survived restructures before but seeing 10% of the legal team disappear has a lasting impact.

I'm a 7th year and am on my 4th employer. I agree in the in-house market, moving is probably the easiest way to get the seniority, responsibility and comp you deserve. Move if it will be the best for you in terms of your career.

Could you share any information I should be aware of in-terms of levels, compensation, stocks, etc?
