I was just recently told that 2 to 3 years is job hopping and you will be unhirable. I don't even agree with this. On average most of our generation stays in one job for 2 to 3 years to avoid the market passing them by. Inflation eats the living hell out of our wages and the only way to get a good ROI is to 1) Get a promotion internally every 1 to 2 years or 2) jump ship and get a 20% to 30% pay bump with increased responsibility and improved title.
Plus most recent graduates will job hop the first 3 to 4 jobs…these low paid salaries that these companies offer new graduates are just absolutely criminal.
Plus companies will lay you off without a damn warning. They don't even provide penisions like they used to and some offer some really shitty health benefits packages. And what the hell is up with these 1% to 3% yearly pay raises?
Man I say every 2 to 3 years check what the market has to offer if you can snatch a good job with a huge pay increase and better benefits then the last and it's a strategic lateral move up in your career goals hop away.
