'Should you use JOB HOPPING to advance your career?'

In case you get it, it would mean the world to me if you left me a review on Amazon!

Have you thought about job hopping, but are afraid of what the repercussions may be? Being loyal to one employer is often seen as a virtue, but let’s challenge these conventional notions and explore the merits of job hopping. Changing jobs is not an easy decision and there’s a lot to consider. But entertaining this idea and looking at job-hopping from a new perspective might just lead you to a more purposeful career overall. #jobhopping #multiplecareers #meaningfulwork

Job hopping brings you the rewards you deserve and its for people who know their value. If you stay around in a dead end job too long you are losing out on advancement for your career and money too. If you find a good job with oppurtunites then of course you stay but it takes most people a long time to find the ideal job. I've just found a job I will be able to stick around in long term as it has oppurtunites for me to advance to other jobs I want within the business. Typically most jobs I stick around for 2 years or so before I go although the most recent job I left I only did 3 months due to how terrible it was.

As you have mentioned previously, it's good to be intentional in the commitment to approaching work from a mutual value perspective. A company may pour significant resources into a new hire only to be left high and dry after a very short time. Many have a lackadaisical attitude when it comes to jobs and it shows in their career lily-pad hopping. On the flip side, most employers have zero qualms about giving someone the pink-slip due to downsizing, restructuring, etc. At bottom, I believe it pays to see work as a contractual endeavour, to be fulfilled as long as the trade-offs are upheld.

The problem with job hoppers is that they don't develop the skills necessary for long-term success, which ironically becomes more and more important as you enter senior levels.
