Does switching companies frequently a bad thing ?

Hi Folks, so one my friend tells me that if you keep changing jobs / companies as frequently as within a year or so it creates bad impact of us and the chances of getting hired by other companies are less. Does this really effect on our resume or career? Does Hiring Managers check this as point before selecting any candidates ? Really wanna know as if we don’t switch we can’t survive in this companies for the salary they pay us.

Yes that is true. Not in early stage but later when you become senior your last 2 stints need to be advice 3 years each

Depends on the company you are moving out. If you are switching from byjus, then I would call it a great decision. On serious note, it depends on the skill set and what value you can add to their company. These fuckers will hire a sexual harasser if it helps them. These people have no standards.

Hahah that’s true I agree! These companies no matter how much you sacrifice your time , your skills in the last you’re just an employee and can easily be replaceable! So just do the designated work n leave 🙂

Switching jobs frequently? That's like changing clothes because they're not gold. Loyalty's scarce, but gold-diggers are aplenty.

Not about gold or silver but what if the clothes have loop holes and if the clothes looks fine outside but inside it’s not comfortable or the fabric is not suitable for your body. Haha

Depends on who's interviewing you. I've switched 7 times in 16 yrs and am able to justify, but, have only been asked to when the interviewer hasn't switched as much as I have.

Depends on why the switch! I switched 5 jobs in 9 years. Complete at least a year before you switch. If you are switching for salary correction, or to reskill yourself, it doesn’t matter. As you get to a senior role (manager & above) - shifting within an year can be a red flag for the recruiters.

Does switching jobs below 1 year affect our resume?

So I have a question that switching jobs while having less than 1 year in previous jobs really matters. Currently I'm not very much liking my role and boss. But I'm afraid to switch before 1 year as it can affect my profile. Does it really matter in the long run

How frequently to switch companies for salary growth?

I'm new to the job market so I wanted to understand how frequently should I switch companies when I get a better offer. I've heard that sometimes your employer themselves will match a competing offer. But how frequently should I do this? Every 2 years? 3? Doing this too frequently can make me an objectively worse candidate so if anyone can tell me what's the ideal duration, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

While hiring, do you really care about a candidate’s frequent job switch or just skill set?

If frequent job switch does matter then how frequent? Every 6 months is frequent or every 1 year is frequent? What other criteria do you also see?

Does swtiching really help?

I AM NOT TALKING MONEYYY. I understand most of you who have switched is either for financial reasons or maybe change in role or work or even bad boss. I am talking about an angle from where your work is good, team is good so is culture. And most importantly you are being respected and have amazing peace of mind, stress free life.Yes salary might be low, but again there never will be a limit where some should stop and not ask for more money. I am at this point, where pay is decent and genuinely don’t feel to switch. But it’s just that people everywhere are talking about switching, and comparing that this guy earns more than you. People are like you should switch and earn more money etc. But haven’t found anyone who feels the same as i do. In good place where I am. What do you think?
