By contrast, I have recently accepted a new position, and in almost every interview I was asked, with a negative connotation, why I had stayed so long (6 years) with my current employer.
Personally - I’ve had no issues getting a job. I’ve job hopped consistently since I started working in 2013. I haven’t had a single job last more than a couple years. I will be looking for a new job in 2022 as well. I don’t expect anything bad to happen due to my hopping. It’s a norm within the industry.
If companies didn’t want this to happen then they’d work harder at retaining talent.
If you are at the same company people want to at the very least see growth. Positional or responsibility wise.
I rather hire someone with multiple 2-3 year stints, than someone with one 8 year job. But it’s only a small part of the hiring equation.
