Job hopping works. But the more you do it, the more you can expect to see skepticism from hiring managers.
Software development is a little bit different because right now there is more demand for workers than there are good developers. It hasn't always been that way and it won't always be that way.
When you're working for the right employer at the right salary, an extra 25-50% isn't going to be enough to lure you away. That and at some places stock options are worth something and vesting schedules actually play into the decision process.
- UK-AL 9y ago"extra 25-50%" - That's really bad financial mangament on the employees part. 20-50% per annum extra, invested and compounded is A LOT of money. Literally for some people that could be an extra million at retirement.
- Steeeve 9y agoWorking for the right people has benefits beyond monetary ones. Knowing the right person can be helpful to getting your kid in the right school, or in to see the right doctor. Being vocally appreciated in a field where that is not particularly common helps you sleep better at night. Being given a certain level of autonomy can be more rewarding for some people, being given a constant stream of tasks can be more rewarding for others. Money is a big factor with employment. It's not the only one.
