Every year might not be the best sign 
 1.5-2 years is quite okay 
  
 But as long as you have a good explanation, it’s all well and good

Is it good to switch after 6 months of working in a company?

Is it a good idea to switch a company I joined 6 months back?

Software Developer

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.

Does switching companies frequently a bad thing ?

Suggestion on company shifting

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.

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

Let's talk about being highly underpaid. It's a reality many of us face, yet it's often shrouded in silence. Whether you're in a corporate job, a creative field, or any profession, feeling undervalued and underpaid can be demoralizing and unjust. It's not just about the numbers on our paycheck; it's about the recognition of our worth, our skills, and our contributions.

Too often, we find ourselves in situations where our hard work and dedication are not adequately compensated. We put in long hours, go above and beyond our job descriptions, and yet, when it comes time to discuss salaries, we're met with excuses or paltry raises that barely keep pace with inflation. It's a cycle that perpetuates feelings of frustration, resentment, and even imposter syndrome.

But here's the thing: We don't have to accept being undervalued. We can speak up, advocate for ourselves, and demand fair compensation for our efforts. It might be uncomfortable, and it might require us to challenge the status quo, but it's essential for our well-being and the integrity of our professions.

Employers need to recognize the importance of fairly compensating their employees. It's not just about the bottom line; it's about fostering a culture of respect, appreciation, and mutual benefit. When employees feel valued and adequately compensated, they're more engaged, productive, and loyal.

So, if you're feeling highly underpaid, know that you're not alone. It's a widespread issue that deserves attention and action. Whether it's through salary negotiations, seeking out better opportunities, or advocating for change within our organizations, let's stand together and demand the compensation we deserve. Because when we value ourselves, others will too.

Are you getting underpaid?! I know it sucks🤦🏻

1. Most of the time it sucks because you're comparing and that'll always take your joy. In some cases, you're not underpaid but someone else is overpaid. 
 2. When you don't have a job, you'll appreciate being a bit underpaid too. 
 3. Not all people can take the risk of standing against the organizations. 
 4. Indian labour laws suck and that's why the culture of fair compensation is just a joke. 
 P.s.: Everyone should know their 'market' value and they should always aim for the highest of the range.

Product Manager

Analyst 

I have 1.7 years of experience.
In the 1st company I worked  for 13 months and then I switched.
My 2nd company is the best company till now I have ever worked but unfortunately got laid off within 6 months.
Now I have recently joined a new organisation and it's been a month now but due to the toxic work culture and bad team I don't want to stay here.
The problem is that it's been only 1.7 years and now I am looking for the 4th organisation to switch.
Is that fine? And especially will it be easy for me to justify the new organisation for the frequent switch.

I have recently joined Oracle(4 months back) and now, I get the interview for google and walmart.

Is it okay to look for new opportunities just after joining a company?

Hi Folks,

Have you guys ever rejected an offer just because you thought maybe after 1 year I will get something better?

I'm currently working as a consultant. I got an offer in a core product based company that too for a senior position. I got a decent hike approx 40 percent and stocks as well 

I have switched 3 companies in my career of 4 years (currently working in 4th). This is seen as a red flag by interviewers. And I also strongly believe I have some growth in my current company (skill wise not money and promotion). 

But in terms of Promotion or Money I have to wait a lot. The hikes are expected to be around 10 percent max in the month of November and for Promotion I have to wait till next June 2025 probably.

What should I do now please advise 🥺

Consultant

Hello all, what are your takes on switching Companies every 4-6 years (or other frequencies) v/s staying in one company for longer duration like 10-20 years? 

Note: While staying at the same company, one should stay relevant and try to evolve rapidly as well. Taking on new challenges, moving to different teams/verticals will be a part of it. It won't be like staying in just one role, doing the same work every day, expecting a hike/promotion someday.

While switching, money would definitely get double or tripled, but considering an ideal/hypothetical situation where someone is making 'good enough salary' from the beginning of their career itself, and then the fact that the more we wait, the compensation would compound down the lane.

Switching Companies v/s Not Switching Companies

I want to switch my job because I am underpaid but at the same time I am little bit afraid by thinking What will happen in new organisation, in new team, new manager, new client, I have to prove again myself in front of my new team and my new manager etc..
What should I do?
I am currently working as a Individual Contributor (IC) role with 9 YOE and having good rapo with my team and manager. 
And if I switch to new organisation, there won't be career option for me to go to management role (atleast for initial few years)
Please suggest?

Is it okay to switch company within a span of one year in past years due to few reasons such as growth, pivot etc

As the title describes, have been pondering whether staying at one single company makes you an undesirable candidate for hiring or not. This is my first job and have been in Z since the last 2.5 years

Switching companies vs. staying in one company

I have lost all hopes from appraisals. I think if you wanna gain hike in your package, just make a switch. What are your thoughts?

Appraisals are shit

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!
