Life is not about accumulating the most amount of wealth.
Its about building meaningful relationships that last a life time.
Why would someone "job hob" if they really like the team/company? Yes you may make "more" at the next Co. but chances are your team/management will suck big time.
Find what you love/who you love and stick with it.
If you stay at a job you love one of two things will happen.
- you will get cost of living wages while people doing your same job will come in and get market wages.
- you will “love” your job and your job won’t reciprocate and you will find yourself unable to find a new one because you haven’t kept your network strong, your resume up to date, or your skillset current and you will be crying “ageism” while people who have done all of the above won’t have the same issue.
- you do get your salary bumped every year with consistent raises - you get promoted and grow along with the company.
Its rare but it happens. when it happens you stick with the company and build something great.
i just finished a cycle of interviews and hiring managers viewed long stay at a company as a definite positive. They in fact disliked job hoppers (every 2-3 years new job) as it damages companies in the long run according to them.
Both parties need to understand that employment is purely transactional. It’s that way for all companies. Netflix was honest about it. The famous presentation that “we are like a professional sports team not a family.”
I agree.
The attitudes at the top of the pyramid are such that they require those at the bottom to be the docile, nice guy who adheres to the golden rule, morality and humility while those at the top are continually improving their ruthlessness in competition with their peers.
