> Beware of senior engineers who job hop. I think this is a bit too much of a generalization. I would caveat this with "understand what you're hiring for". In some cases, you need a specialist to come in and laser-focus on a problem, and then maybe someone who won't be with you for long, but will tackle those problems, is just fine - and even what you really want: no seat-warming, just get it done and get out. But if you're hiring someone to lead a long-lived team working on big projects, then your point stands.
