Genuinely asking, is there any value anymore in promotions when the market seems to reward job hopping every few years? I think promotions were useful when someone worked only one or a few jobs in their lifetime, but it's not so useful anymore. The amount of effort to get promoted is much higher and with much lower reward than simply interviewing at a new place and getting that job within a couple weeks.
- PragmaticPulp 5y ago> is there any value anymore in promotions when the market seems to reward job hopping every few years? Depends entirely on the company. Big tech companies are very good at promotions and retention. The rewards of job hopping also saturate quicker than people expect. Push it too far and it starts to become a negative. When an employer sees a resume that has a new job every 10-12 months for the past 6 years, they're going to assume the employee will be temporary at their own company, as well.

I don't know about you but the job-seeking process seems like another job itself. If you're good at that job (esp. while executing on your current job) then I guess the world's your oyster.
