So am not sure if this would be the right place to ask it but am going to do so anyhow.
A bit of background. I work in IT support mainly outsourced. Living in The Netherlands.6 months ago I quit the outsourcing company to get a 15% raise when I would switch to a different one. I did request a salary raise but of course, this was denied. So I switched jobs.
Now working 6 months further at this company and getting some certifications (MS-900, AZ-900, ITIL v4, and AZ-104). Again with this new experience at the company I am outsourced in. I have more responsibilities, 2nd line support, on site support, and migration quality manager (kind of).I requested a salary review again. Again, of course, it was denied stating my own growth is more important than the salary. Keeping in mind that I paid and studied for all the certifications myself and not been financed by the company that is outsourcing me.
My worry is that this will look bad on my CV. (the constant job hopping)But to me that is the only way apparently that you can grow your income faster rather than being stuck at a company for 10 years for the same salary some new hire gets by that time.How can I explain my job hopping situation to a hiring manager when they inevitably ask about it?
