What’s the read on job hopping to increase your pay? How much does it actually help grow your salary and is there a point at which it backfires? I’ve been reading a bunch of posts from hiring managers who say they’d throw away resumes for anyone who has jumped roles multiple times but I’ve also seen people get massive pay bumps too!

It used to work. We are going through a great salary adjustment and it's not as advantageous. You might keep a higher salary by job hugging.

If you are younger, truly a high performer with valuable skills, and good at interviewing and negotiating salary, then it is almost certainly worth it to hop jobs if you aren’t getting large increases / promotions where you are. Most people are not all of those things though, so their results may vary. My last two switches I went from 65 —> 105 and then 110—> 150 two years later. When network / interviewing for my most recent job switch no one cared that I’d had 4 jobs in my 6 year career, but maybe that’s just federal contracting.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
