[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will bite you when it becomes excessive. Eventually, companies won’t hire you when you become a serial job hopper, or at least a lot of doors will close.

[b]I wouldn’t give you a chance at my firm. [/b]4 jobs in 3 years? I’d assume you got let go. [/quote]

Definitely my fear. When i interviewed with my current company they didn't even bring it up as a negative in the interview. It was more like 'wow you've had a lot of really good experiences across the industry' and that was the extent of it. [/quote]

I would not want to work for a close minded person who would not give a chance. Sounds old fashioned to me. I agree that all the jobs give you a wide range of experience. You see what is done with competitors, different industries and so on. I see it no differently than a business with their constant laying off of people, merges, acquisitions, retirement buyouts. Well, an employee can “lay off” an employer. Why not?

I worked for a place that laid people off in 2-3 rounds. I was round 2. Then they hired a bunch back. They fired all those people to make their reports look better to a buyer. Where is the loyalty to the humans they employed? 
 
You’ll be fine, OP.

Those who fear a recession probably live above their means or paycheck to paycheck. Save for a rainy say. Make hay while the sun shines. [/quote]

It doesn’t matter what you want unless it’s your business…those who don’t color between the lines have to face more risk (and sometimes more reward). But when the rest comes (recession) will the plan hold. Convention says no[/quote]
