I have received offer from Shell and SAP labs is in final stage salary discussion. Shell is offering 6 lacs more than @SAP labs. I have tried to negotiate a lot from SAP but they are not ready. They are putting conditions like give your full commitment to join then only we'll release offer letter. I am currently looking for work life balance with growth. Should I join @SAP considering its a Product based and good WLB and learning? Teck Stack - Java/Micro-services/cloud YOE - 11yrs

I mean… you probably ARE a flight risk. But so is the average professional in 2022. Employers don’t provide pensions anymore. There’s no real reason to stay in one place. The good thing about this profession is that if you are skilled and profitable, you’ll find work [or be able to hang your own shingle].
Changed firms a lot to break into a specific practice area and while I love it, I want big law. Just been a mission to get there. Most resumes we get at my firm have people who have jumped a lot. Thinking it's becoming more common.
I am on my third firm, and I’m in my seventh year. I have no concerns.
Less than a year, but think in large part, it was just good timing with the job market.
4th firm in 6 years. I found that as long as the jumps make narrative sense no one is all that concerned. For example I went from general lit on LI to PL in NYC (geographic jumps are easy to explain), then to a firm doing PL and L&E, then to my current position doing solely L&E (so the last two moves were clearly to change practice areas).
In a similar boat. Was in ID at 3 firms and then jumped now to L&E. However my firm is tiny and I want big law
4th firm in 6 years and just accepted an in-house role. As long as you have a narrative, I think most people understand but you will always have some people who think differently.
Graduated in 2016. I was in state government for 2.5 years and went private. Did one firm for 2 years another for 8 months and now I’m on my third. Going on six years of practicing and I’ve been with three different firms in just over three years of private practice. First firm switch was switching practice areas and the second switch was because I got headhunted to a bigger firm with more money. No regrets because each change has brought me more money in better work environments. That’s all the reason I need for myself and my family.
I need to have a consultation with you to discuss that.
8 YOE as an attorney; I had law clerk/legal assistant positions prior though too. I’m at my 5th employer as an attorney - four firms and now in house with insurance co. But, I do not list one of the firms on any resume, linked-in, etc. because I was only there three weeks before I realized what a shit show it was and quit so there doesn’t even appear to be a gap anywhere. I’d be honest about it if someone asked, but don’t necessarily want to advertise that partially because I feel like I’m close to looking flighty too.
I was at a firm for 4-5 months and don't know if I should take that off. There would be a 5 month gap on my resume so I should probably keep it
It really depends on how long the longest stint is. My concern when I see this kind of thing is that the person can’t do the job and is being asked to leave.
Mine are a year long with the exception of one being 5 months.
I had 4 in 20 years. I'm now in house.
A4, I'm not an attorney so I guess I'm allowed to be dumb 🤷♀️
8th year
4 years at firm 1
6 months at firm 2
3 years in-house (current)
7 years out, four jobs. Made partner last year at my fourth place after being there a year. Sailing into equity next year if I play it right. Jumped to make more $$$ each time. My rule was I wouldn’t move for less than $25k. Each time, the firms came to me and luckily every time but the first time I was in a position where I was happy to stay where I was. Because I didn’t feel pressured to leave I was able to negotiate from a power position.
