[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never hire anyone who had a trend of less than 2 years in every job. Past age 27 or so moving jobs that frequently suggests a candidate is flaky, shortsighted and unprofessional.[/quote]

Lol so if someone got a 20 percent raise they shouldn’t take it because someone that has no influence over them might think it is flakey!? I think it is a red flag when someone is in a job for to long. Means they are not desirable[/quote]

DP, but as a manager, I agree with the PP. While some people may be job hopping for more money, I think far more job hop because they *are* flakey and get bored as soon as the newness of the job wears off. When I look at the most competitive people from my undergrad and professional school, they got the good jobs out of school and have tended to hop every 3-5 years. The people who have moved more were weaker performers in school, and that has likely translated to the workplace too.

Not the end of the world, truly, but another reasonable perspective. [/quote]
