People do change jobs frequently, but yours isn’t a very good sample.
Startup hopping has its own dynamics, where people sign up to catch the next orbital launch and then move on when they haven’t been seeing engines firing strongly enough.
In more mature companies, which do still turn over way faster than they used to, the dynamics are more traditional (pay/title/resume/perks/culture).
- p1esk 4y agoTo me startup or not does not make any difference. The pay is good (265k, working remotely, far away from the volley), the environment is relaxed (I work realistically ~20 hours a week including meetings), and I don't care about the exit (I assume my shares are worth zero). Yeah, I could be making 600k at FAANG, but I'd have to move back to CA, and honestly, I'm quite satisfied with what I have. And yet I will probably leave for something new within a year. There are a lot of well funded startups working on interesting things, and my skills are in high demand.
