>>Changing Jobs every 6 months
Regarding this. I am afraid there are some people who just don't stay at any place for a meaningful period of time. And its not like they are getting fired all the time. These people just in their full consciousness and responsibility just keep hopping jobs in hopes of a mythical super career.
In my country(India) its standard to get a ~15% hike on a job change on your current pay. The net result is you have a market full of job hoppers with hardly meaningful experience. It takes some time to come to speed in your new job and you hardly do any work in your notice period. So you essentially do some small time work in the minute period of time you serve at any company.
What's worse is these people are expensive compared to actual genuine contributors, they hardly stay and contribute anything. Since they won't be around in your company in the next 6-8 months why bother hiring them at the first place. And given that, you can't trust them with any long term responsibilities. Or any work of strategic importance.
- Aloha 13y agoThat kinda wage raise is impressive - at one company I was at we had the "<company name> raise" - which is to say, take a job at another firm, get a 50% pay bump, then come back to <company name> and get another job. The short timer thing though sucks, I've only left one job for a raise - the rest were for layoff, work conditions, and one honest to god firing (I was the wrong person for the role). I'd personally love to come and work in India for a year, just for the cultural experience.
