I would think that a good reason for job hoping later in your career would be if you don’t see a path to further career growth at your current company? Or does it depend on the type of company in the current hiring situation (very competitive for remote developers)
Excellent content Alex, I am a lawyer in Brazil that works with FinTech companies, but I see that your applies to me in the office dynamic with the team (your content applies to a lot of areas, with no geographic limitation). I'm following you.
I don't have experience in job hopping since I'm at the same company for 15 years, growing by continuously sharpen my skills and taking on more responsibilities.
But I'm wondering, climbing high on the big corporate ladder and knowing that reaching that far requires fast learning and adapting skills, won't attract talent hunters?
PS: Job hopping works in other domains too, and I have friends who hopped from middle and C-level positions to lower levels with a big bump in the salary. I guess you don't always have to hop up the ladder to increase your paycheck. 🤷♂️
