Job hopping works if you're already in the top 10% of engineers and really talented when it comes to... interviewing.
I suck at leetcode so maybe that's why I'm just not cut out for this. As long as I'm making $150k+ and can WFH I'm not exactly confident I could go out and interview and get something better.
My work history isn't great because I tried job hopping and was a co-founder at a few startups. I quickly found a few 6-8 months stints really made me look radioactive even with around 5yrs of experience.
I'm open to advice here, but I don't blame people who are optimizing for consistency and a stability.
- justsocrateasin 2y agoI thought for a long time that I was trash at leetcode. I would regularly fail the coding portions of interviews. Then a recruiter reached out with a tempting JD and I became good at leetcode, it just took a lot of hard work of tricking my brain into thinking it was a good use of my time.
- elintknower 2y agoI'm getting tired of wasting my time at startups so 4.7 years into my career it might be time to finally just waste the time necessary to nail these problems.
- kagakuninja 2y agoEven for a shitty interviewer like myself, it does work. It just takes me more interviews to finally get the offer. I've tried doing a good job and asking for raises, they never match market rate.
- elintknower 2y agoAny advice, I need more of a forcing function to actually get my resume through the first pass. Too many startups under 1yr definitely has fucked me.
