Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I come from a non-tech background and have ~4.5 years of work-ex across banking, consulting and business development (2.5 years, 7 months, and 1.5 years respectively). Last month, I switched to a CoS role in a startup but not really loving it so far. How long do I have to stay here so it doesn’t reflect poorly on my CV?

Frequent Switches : Good or Bad ?

I wish to know the pros/cons of frequently switching jobs. 
I am in a dilemma, there are posts here and there that say don't switch frequently and then there are posts that nobody cares about frequent job switches, as you are a dev.

Let's discuss ladies & gents✍️

Pros/Cons of Frequent Job Switching

Imagine you are the Hiring manager looking for a Tech Lead who is having 8-10 years of experience. 
  
 He/She has already switched 6-7 companies in the period of 9 years. Will you consider that person working for you? 
  
 I personally won’t.

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?

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

Technical Lead

I am working as data analyst in healthcare sector with 6 years of exp. However my payscale is as low as 8LPA even after switching the companies. I dont know whats wrong in healthcare corporate industry where they just dont want to spend money on employees but have revenues in billions just like any other IT giants, i see people in banglore having ~80LPA and here i am struggling to achieve 8LPA even after 6yrs with multiple awards and recognition from clients and having certification trainings completed. Please suggest.

How do i need to do to increase my payscale?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Me thinking to switch after every 2 years max, for bettter opportunity 🤟, and better hike. Because eventually after 1-2 year, you reach saturation point. 

My concern is It is good to switch to new company even if current company is really good with you in all the way possible.... Except giving salary hike😔

Should I keep switching after every 2 year

Will there be a bad impression on my resume ,if I switch 2 companies within 4 years (2yrs in 1st company,2yrs in current one).And if I'm planning to switch company now ,with this 4 yrs of experience. PS : There is level progression throughout this shifting process (Associate-> SDE1 -> SDE2)

Suggestion on company shifting

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!

Since the job switch hike can never be matched by a promotion within the same org at least in India, Is frequent job-hopping the key to maximizing earnings?

What are the potential downsides of job-hopping every two years?

For those who have stayed longer at one company, how has your compensation growth compared?

Do you think switching jobs frequently is sustainable in the long term?

Is a 1 crore package worth switching jobs every 2 years?

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?

Does swtiching really help?

This is mostly for people who have spent 10+ years in the industry. I’m sure we all can agree that the hiring and salary boom that we witnessed in 2021-22 is mostly over now. Now it’s more about surviving the job market rather than printing asymmetrical amount of money

But how has it turned out for people who’ve been in the game for too long. I know some people who switched jobs too quickly and are at a higher package but still not content. At the same time, I know a few seniors who’re still in my first company and are happier than ever with the work.

I understand that in Tier-1 cities, the expense itself is more and you’re sometimes forced to switch just to stay afloat. But what would you recommend new joiners based on your experience? Does chasing money in early years help later or only focusing on skills?

Chasing money or skills? What paid off at the end?

Should alter the choice during switches. 
  
 If a switch is taken for money then next switch should be for skill or promotion and so on

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.
