[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about people who can’t ever get promoted at current jobs hopping?

Often at companies you see a CEO and Heads of Risk, Audit, Legal, HR report in to CEO. None are qualified to be CEO so no promotion opportunity. Plus with Reorgs, mergers, new CEOs or layoffs as they are highly paid they are in firing line.

Pretty much only way up start small company and work your way to big companies.

It is pretty common. Plus stay too long also looks bad.

In this job market I say hop as next recession no hopping to be done.

Some jobs are switch and bait. My precious job was supposed to be a business role, but every 6 month, my managers will change my goals - sometimes a project manager, later on he wanted me to be a python engineer. There is no one anyone can deliver in this environment - poor job fit, skill misalignment, and the only thing you will get at end of your “tenaure” is battered self esteem.

You will be surprised how many teams out there that does this.[/quote]

Yea, but employees look for the ability to demonstrate you can power through that. Maybe one time you can leave within a year, but usually multiple occurrences point to you (or at least your ability to assess fit in the interview process).  Looks like you are making blinded decisions based on money.  Not a good look when competing against other candidates in a tight market.[/quote]

People with top pedigree, had good luck to land in great teams or have options will have the chance to “access job fit”, for many, we only have 1 offer. It’s not great, but still beats staying in a poor fit environment being unhappy both in and outside of work.
