What do you define as job hopper?

In todays market, very little anymore.

If someone is making multiple lateral moves in a five year span you gotta question what the problem is, and I mean literally question it in an interview. “I hate my boss” for three consecutive jobs isn’t a boss problem it’s an employee problem.

It’s an employee’s market nowadays. The older generation tends to be more loyal and stay longer but the younger generation has high standards with jobs. I’ve been at my current company for two years but don’t think for one minute that if I find a better opportunity that I won’t jump ship. I do what’s best for me and my family, not what’s best for my company. If I die today, I will be replaced in a month. frick my employer, they’ll be just fine without me. I work most weekends and I’m working today (and some other holidays) - I get paid well to do it but I’d 100% take a $10,000-$20,000 a year paycut to be off more with similar benefits.

We’re all replaceable and nobody looks out for me like I look out for me. Employers need to understand this is a two-way street and they no longer have the upper hand. If we get pissed off, we’ll just move on.

It doesn't anymore. There is no more loyalty in the workforce. Why should employees continue to be loyal to employers who always pay outside hires more than they would if they promoted someone internally? Employees have to job hop now to get pay raises.

I like to stay in the same place, did 31 years military (most of it guard) and currently working on my 34th year as a gub'mint civilian.

I’m fine with people hopping every two years if it’s for more money. I do it too, magic number is 25% and I’m gone

Look at this thread full of management who consider resumes and hire/fire. I second the question of why this idiot can still start threads.

Changing jobs every 3-5 years is in general an employees best move. I've read studies that say a white collar employee will leave 500k-1mm on the table over the course of a career if they don't change jobs for more pay. Sitting at a job and waiting for an employer to give you a raise for good performance is a fools errand.

First 10y of career had 5 jobs but revirginated after working 11y at one job

Wouldn't hate it if I ride current to retirement
