[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that while companies hire you, you hire them.  Be deliberate and thoughtful about your next move.  Perhaps you are too hasty in where you decide to build your career. [/quote]

I was a job hopper myself years ago. I took new jobs for the wrong reasons-- higher pay (that wasn't much higher) and wanting to move into a similar field that wasn't any better and led to my being let go because I wasn't the right fit for the job (I should have known that all along). I ended up being rehired by the place I left, which told me they valued my work and skill a lot more than the new place had.

OP, really assess the reasons you want to move. Is it worth disrupting your life and resume for a couple thousand more? Is your boss really THAT bad? Are you so bored there you can't take another day? The big lesson I learned from my job hopping was that sometimes it's best to work for people who really like you and value your work rather than earn a little more. [/quote]
