I once saw a valuable comment here on fishbowl and want to sort of echo that: changing jobs every 1-2 years is no problem, but make sure your skills grow accordingly, cuz you’ll eventually get in trouble.
Do it if you’re young… best way to move up
I think you should because it’s the best way to increase your income. You shouldn’t do it as a matter of course in your career though.
I do get asked about it sometimes, but not all times. Large companies don’t seem to ask as much as small companies.

Depends on your industry and the norms.
It’s not at all uncommon in advertising and marketing to se folks move every 2-3 years, especially early in their careers. It’s the best/fastest way to move up.
Don’t do it, I did a switch to a startup and then was laid off along with a very large percentage of the company. Had to explain it in all my interviews since
I’ve done it a couple times as a software dev, never as a PM. IMHO it’s fine once in a while, but don’t make a habit of it. Only do it if the new opportunity is a big step in the direction you’re trying to go with your career or your current role is a really bad situation.

They don't like it in Canadian marketplace. Even though it's super common in US

I don't disagree with you. If you are changing jobs after year without a reasonable explanation, no one will hire as they will see you as a flight risk and not worth the investment as a talent
Every 1/2 is a bit aggressive, a lot of people would look at that as you literally just onboarded to learn a business and are already jumping ship.
I hopped early in my career which helped me increase my salary quickly, but it was more like moving every 1-2 years. After a couple of jumps like that though, you want to show a bit of stability and more importantly progression/promotion.
Thank you all for the detailed responses ❤️
Don’t do it. It looks really bad and it’s hard to explain
If you’re getting bored, you can look for different projects or teams. You don’t need to change employers. There are other reasons why changing jobs every 1-2 years may make sense as others mention.
3 years in an ad agency is considered long. I’ve been working for about 7 years and 3 years was my longest stay thus far. No one has asked me anything about it. 1 year might be too short but 2 years I don’t think so.
As a recent adhd diagnosed individual I hear this! That said I work with my therapist to help work through the urges and learn to be content. Also, at my firm I’m able to find roles to take on that gives me some of the newness without a full job change. Good luck! The struggle is real!
I personally think you should exhaust all your options before jumping ship. Otherwise there's no point in hiring someone to develop as talent.
Definitely make the move if you think there's zero possibility of advancement or trying new things. Most people that I see jump haven't been persistent enough or creative enough to solve their problems internally.
Just my 2 cents.
