Companies have no loyalty to employees but employees are supposed to be loyal...
1000000%%%%
@@s.llovesome9612 Contracting these days seems to be the only option being offered by companies who don't want to commit... for the last couple 3-4 years every company I've worked for has a 50%+ of consultants in their work force, at least in the IT/IS field
Exactly!!
Hopefully my friend you figured this out at a very young age
employees have no loyalty to companies.
My Mother stayed at a place that underpaid their employees. Managers were only making $17 an hour max. She loved her coworkers and said "love makes the world go round, not money". 2 years later, the Great Recession hits and she had no savings. She lost the house and ended up homeless.
Moral of the story, NEVER stay at a company that doesn't value you. It can destroy your life.
When I finally got in my career field, my manager at my pt job thought I was bsing when I told her come to my company and quit stressing everyday for no real benefits. Within 6 months i was making what bigger managers there were making. Shes put her application in finally
I see our point, however, nowdays "permanent" full time jobs are harder to come by, as more and more companies are offering contracts to save on benefits, severance, etc. It is the employers who have created this trend of contract work, so they should not look badly if a candidate does not have long term jobs on their resume. Also, many full time jobs last few years at most. This is just the reality of the modern job market.
Job hopping only works to maximize the market value of a particular job.
As far as contracts go, if you have at least five years experience at a particular job and are looking to upgrade, I would personally make sure you are offered the needed support and at least three to five years contract. With them having to pay out if they terminate your contract for anything but professional behaviour related.
If companies gave raises people would not job hop as much.
I was at wendys 2 years no raise at all, making 12 an hour. Just took my experience to applebees now making 16 at hire!
I'm gonna aim for 3 to 5 years in between. I am fully convinced that changing jobs is the only way to get paid what I'm worth. Like he says, I shouldn't do it every year but I'm defintlye not gonna wait 6 years for even a raise. THe 2% total since I started mine 5 years ago is a joke and I know they know it.
TBH, 2 years is all you need. The good thing also is that if you join a multi national, you can also just move internally to other areas/locations and it still looks fine. Hell, even countries.
If any environment is not toxic and sorta good, then you can stick it out and learn as much as you can before moving anyway.
After 10 years you can just start your own company and will probably be happier than climbing the corporate ladder.
@ghost mall Not to mention, not everyone has the aptitude for it to begin with. 90% of start-ups fail, so running your own company definitely isn't for everyone.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Starting your own company could mean just being independent. You could be a company of one and just consult for other companies.
Captalism wins at all costs. Do what you gotta do to survive. A company needs to tame you, and convince you that staying there is the best option.
There's nothing wrong with switching jobs, theses concepts only wants to put you inside a box. Do your thing, we are the workforce!
They don't want you to leave but they don't want to pay well either.
I really like your comment here because it acknowledges that capitalism is beneficial to the employee (as long as the employee operates in his/her own best interest regardless of whether or not that aligns with his/her employer’s best interest) while also acknowledging that companies will inevitably operate in their own best interest, sometimes to the detriment of their own employees. Rather than complaining about capitalism, I wish that employees would just think of themselves as equals with their employers. The bottom line: It’s up to you to determine the best option for your career. Staying forever at the same company helps no more than complaining about the system. Operate in your own best interest! If you do that and you’re in an even decent industry, you’ll ultimately make more money than anyone in some social democracy or socialist state ever would!
@@daltonhunter4800 Based response
Really glad I found your channel shortly before interviewing for my dream job. Thought I would trip at every hurdle but following your advice I was able to impress and land the position. 6 months later and I wake up enjoying what I do every day. I am sure I am not the only one you've helped this way! Shared this channel with all my friends.
Lots of companies want so much but give so little 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@ghost mall that’s what you say hut you also got to remember yours not the only applicant which is kinda ignorant to say cuz it’s all on the company if they want to hire you
They want you to do so much for their benefit
I am lucky enough where I have a job that does reward me for my worth and very quickly - within 3 years I went from 45k to 100k. Though it has been blood sweat and tears, to get there.
@@somethinsomethin7216 yeah but many are at a company for 3+ years and got nothing to show for it. What do you say to those people?
Companies automatically assuming someone is "job-hopping" is just plain classist.
Next time someone asks me that in an interview, I'm just gonna give 'em a dose of reality and say "I couldn't afford to live in that state for more than a year or 2, so I had to move somewhere I could live within my means."
A lot of candidates who have held several full-time W-2 jobs in a timeframe under a year will omit some of them from their resume and stretch the duration employed with a different employer.
Honestly who cares if someone's had multiple jobs even within one year two or three reference call checks you'll have an idea what the candidate is all about McDonald's can't even find people right now the job market is a total cluster if you didn't steal or commit murder at your previous job you have a perfect candidate..... LOL
Yeah, that also made me scratch my head, lol. Yes, sometimes I've been made to list all of my jobs when doing an application but a lot of others just look at my resume. I've hopped through a fair number of jobs and as time goes on, I remove the less desirable ones to prop up the longer-held jobs (without lying about my time of employment). And I don't think I've ever not been offered a job at a place that asks for my full history.
As a recruiter myself, if a candidate does this I will find out when doing a background check. I ask for employment history and previous employers must confirm the timeframe accuracy. Big red flag for me if you I find you lied in your resume.
@@nicholealburquerque889 employment history doesn’t come up in a background check…
😅😅
Tbh I get what you saying but you are saying that from the employer's perspective. The market want us so bad (in tech) that you will find eventually another job. Another thing is that if we don't find a job, then we stay in the job that we currently have that "job upgrade". So there's really no bad side... Only if you really want a specific company and maybe they see you as "job hopping". But that's very tiny if you aim only one job.
I have never stayed more than 5 and 4 years at any given job, respectively!! 2 or 3 years is my max, ever since!! My salary has gone up 3x over the past 6 years because of that!!
Very smart I do the same
Honestly, ive been job hopping for so long that im just tired…went to a good high school…went to a good college…graduated 10 yrs ago and STILL don’t have the career I want…but still paying off laons…I’m just trying to find ny passion like everybody else….some people know from age 10 what they wanna do…some don’t find out till age 40…some people NEVER FIND IT…nobody just JOB HOPS for fun 🤷🏾♂️
I've moved a lot - worked internationally and moved to other states, and it seems to be misconstrued as job hopping.
That's why my ultimate goal is to start my own business, fuck the corporate ladder!
You don't have to be ashamed because of that.
Same! Like employers are so removed from what life is like on/below the poverty line. Every time I get a question about "why I never stayed at a job for more than a year or 2?" I want to respond with "I couldn't afford to live in that state anymore, so I had to move"
I think Bryan has a good understanding of the job market from the employer perspective. But not from a job hopper. Keep in mind that I am talking about software engineering. A job hopper does not need your job, does not really have to 'convince you' to hire him. He just need to find a company that has funding and is in dire need of employees.
If no company is in need, then he just stays at it's current job. If a recruiter gets all defensive and uppity, then the job hopper just wait for the next business in need.
Ive been job hopping for the last 4 years, gladly all the companies Ive switched granted me paid vacations so I never been that stressed out! : )
i just got judged today on it. basically my last 3 jobs i been working 2 years each however the last one i was laid off. my thing is i work super hard and go above and beyond but if i don’t get compensated/ promoted for it within a year or so i start to make moves and go to the next job that pays better
Good man. Keep doing it strategically and get that money.
Hi Brian! Good luck with your dentist appointment
I have job hopped since October of last year my pay went from $22/hr to $33/hr. My pay 1st went from $22/hr (10/22/21) to $26.95/hr (01/31/22) to $33/hr. (10/24/22). The only way I will increase my pay even further will be by going to school and getting a degree or wait for inflation to increase my pay 😅.
It depends on your place of employment and your industry. Some places are so focused on the short-term that you may have a different boss every six months because the old boss did not get results or moved on or up. There are organizations that just keep shuffling the deck whether it's strategic (task force or project based management) or because they don't want departments building kingdoms or because they are spitwading and hoping that someone sticks in the role.
Job hopping as a contracting IT consultant is fine tough, maybe you should do videos to cover the whole consulting/contracting side of things further
And you folks are also walking the fine line between employee vs. consultant. IRS love to pick peeps like you for tax audit.
@@bobchan1666 yeah I'm in Canada but we have the same socialist Mafia, here it's called the cra. Fortunately in Quebec it was ruled that IT consulting qualifies as actual company not an employee, because there was too much abuse by the tax revenue agency just like you say
Changing employer and roles is the best way to advance your career in most professional trajectories - you will expand your knowledge, experience and network with each move, far more than you can do staying with one employer.
After 2 years in the same job you've learn't 95% or more of what you're ever going to learn in that role if you are not promoted after this time then you should leave for something else otherwise you're just going through the motions. Also the chances are after 2 years if you haven't had a promotion you probably never will.
4 jobs in 10 years. Always comes up in interviews. Two were pretty much identical but I can explain those oil and gas bom and bust cycle. The short stint I had in a different industry I flat out told people it was a fit for myself and company.
I've worked at the place for 3 years until Covid hit. Since than I have had 4 jobs, where the longest lasted 8 months.
And I have no problem saying I'm glad I didn't stay that long. If a company has no loyalty to it's employees, we don't have to be loyal to them. I have no problem staying at a company, but I won't be mistreated all the time.
Landing a decent paying job where I live is near impossible, so I start grad school next year and will be looking for something more
Coming from someone without a job and that has suffer the same problem due to covid... Im thinking about moving over seas/abroad. Would you mind telling me where to NOT go (i mean your place) ?
@@carlosemiralonso7997 I'm in the US. I'd say avoid most retail store (but mainly dollar stores and other discount stores), food service can be fine, but avoid fast food and server at low end places
@@NickGT1996 Gotcha. Thanks for the advice. Im going for tech companies!
I do contract security 👮🏻♂️, private security. I change jobs, posts often. Mainly it's due to low hourly wages and poor working conditions. My current job(which is a site I returned to after 3yr) is a complete mess, dumpster 🔥🔥🔥. I will plan to switch jobs around Nov 2021 or so. The mgr did not meet our agreement on schedule, job conditions. The security staff are like hyper 5 year olds. 🤦🏻♂️ I'm 50, a US Army veteran and armed/G licensed. I'm not a child care provider or therapist.
Love your videos! This might be the only one I disagree with. Companies are loyal to no one - we shouldn’t be expected to be loyal back. I have tripled my salary by moving to new companies every 2 years. And most of my positions, I was recruited for from LinkedIn without even looking. There’s nothing wrong with diversifying your experience with new companies and positions. I’m told it’s a valuable skill set.
I have been an individual contributor for 20+ years in the IT field. First, not everyone is cut out for management. Especially in IT, some of my worse bosses were former IT folks so they tend to micromanage or not trust you to make the technical decisions required. I've had a few good ones too. It is a very different skillset. Also, I'm not super keen on the ideal of climbing someone else's ladder when I can just build my own. So, currently "all in" on the technical route. But, in IT, the senior roles often pay as much or more than first or second level management. Lead/staff engineers pay like senior managers. Principle is paid like a director. I know if some companies that may have a higher progression too that is paid similar to a VP - although those are rare.
I don't see consulting as a stressful life - at least from a job security perspective. Actually, I think I'm in better shape than most long-term company folks. Why? Because I am really good at interviews and I keep current with technology. There was a 5-year period that I had a 100% close rate - every interview resulted in an offer. I tell people that my resume is my job security. A lot of company folks only know the stuff required to do their jobs - so they are at a disadvantage if they find themselves having to look for new employment. While I started in software engineering, I have experience is a wide variety of technologies (Cloud, DevOps, etc) so I'm more of a generalist with the ability to specialize when needed. So, I tell any recent college grad to work for a consulting/staff aug place to get exposure to many different companies and technologies. Also, it is super common to only be on an assignment 6-18 months anyway - and you normally get a pay bump with each new contract. Once you equalize at a good rate, you can decide if you want to work fulltime with a high quality company. It is a lot easier to negotiate a strong fulltime salary when your base hourly rate is solid. My current gig is as a "Lead Consultant" with a boutique IT consulting firm and I still have room to advance (principle).
However, I try to be conservative with my finances. I save like mad into my retirement accounts and have some savings just in case. As long as you know what is happening, there isn't anything wrong with peaking early - that's just more years with a maxed out social security and more into the 401k.
Great vlog on HR's perception of job hopping. This really help!
I like your comparison at 5:39 regarding jobs being similar to relationships.... actually I've always treated my personal relationships as somewhat like a business investment your partner has to be invested equally financially and emotionally as well as to a certain extent you are financially and emotionally invested in your career/job. . . .
I wouldnt wish contracting on my worst enemy (the temp to perm stuff) . I have been in IT for many years and job hopped a lot in past 10.. Most of the time I leave was laterally and to get out of toxic work environment. Another was wanting to move to different state. I agree it best to job upgrade as real hassle to start over every year or two . Thx for sharing.
This is my opinion. If you’re gonna job hop, make sure your title and pay are better than your last.
Hey brain, honestly your previous video on this topic and your video on employment curve itself is sufficient. They were more concise, structured and drove home the point. Appreciate your efforts to make this video like a car talk, but honestly your structured videos are better and enough to cover the point.
Hey Brian, you are such a help man, I really appreciate your work.
I would say that if you want to get a significant and I do mean very significant pay raise such as more than $10k you absolutely have to change Industries and or career path doing something "TOTALLY DIFFERENT" example myself I am 48. . . was a CNC machinist for 25 years Maxed out at $60k even w/OT. . . Now I went from $60k to $95k as a Truck driver in this covid economy MASSIVE shortage for years to come. It is hard life but I'm all in right now and can go back to previous line of work if need be
I love the car interview format. This is great. Unscripted, natural, and real. More!!!!
inflation goes up every year yet companies don’t give raises to those that contribute the most. i can’t see myself staying over 2 years if i’m not at least making $2-$5 more
When I was a recent college grad about 8 years ago it was very tough for me. Every decent paying job seemed to want a couple of years of direct (or very closely related) experience and some kind of specialized certificate. I felt the need to be pretty aggressive w job hopping to get out of these low paying jobs. It's wasn't a good look but it beat eating rice and beans every night. Maybe loyalty would have paid off but I doubt it. I won't job hop anymore though.
I had a career plan initially until I realized I didn't have the aptitude for it (being a veterinarian or anything in the vet field). I've not felt as passionate about doing anything else and juggling school and work was just exhausting for me. I also on paper make too much to qualify for any financial aid now so I'd have to pay out of pocket just for something like community college (no way am I attending a four year school before knocking out my pre-requisites at a CC or trade school for much cheaper).
I think I can now do it with my current job since it's just online and I don't have to verbally speak with anyone, which is much more exhausting. But my job right now is on very shaky legs as it has to renew its contract with the company we work for. All attempts to add another company for additional business has failed and if this one falls through...we're all jobless. Which would really suck as I'm about to move and I had hoped this would be The One, the job I'd grow with and finally advance in. It has amazing pay, well and beyond anything I've ever earned, covers my insurance so I'm not paying for that, and has a great 401K plan, of which I wanted to sign up for next year. I've not found anything even close to this in just peeking around. If I lose this job...I'm losing a true once in a lifetime opportunity for one who doesn't have a degree (yet?)
All of my other jobs (customer service) have paid terribly, been very stressful for low pay, and in one case, was very immoral and unethical (maybe not illegal, but it stressed people out so much that they'd become very rude with customers on the phone). But management was begging us to refer more people to them 🙄. I gave them two and a half years and took on less desirable shifts and roles due to pay increase but it wasn't enough to keep me at a job that felt like an abusive relationship. At least 50% of our calls came from very unfavorable companies (I worked overnight so we'd tske calls for male enhancement pills where disgusting men would call in like we're sex workers and masterbate on the phone, shady diet pills, and this background report company that was so bad, it had an FAQ section that legally had to inform what their reports could not be used for...which was pretty much everything you'd want a report for.
The company claimed to be headquartered in Florida but people got charges from the UK and we were actually instructed to act ignorant and tell them to call their bank about that, like we'd never heard of it before. This comoany also cut it's trial periods short and would bill people early, so you can imagine the fun calls we got because of these things. I used to tell myself it wasn't that bad but it was. This was the job I had last year thst lead to hopping about three other jobs before settling with my current one. I just mentally could no do another call center again.
Sorry, this was just a rant and contributed nothing to the discussion, lol. Anywho, keeping my fingers, eyes and toes crossed that my current job gets the renewed contract.
Concentrate on your driving!
Yea this format is disgusting.
It's not what you know, it's who you blow :)
Classic, but true !
If the new companie need people and help they dont give a F... if you job hooping or not as long you do the job right and be on time, no call no show the first week and follow orders.
I like your videos in general but not liking the car format. Too much background noise.
What happens when you land a job at a company and then they lie to you and tell you its a mid range job, but it really is entry level once you get there. You make more money, but the whole point of leaving your past job was for more experience. And now recruiters have assumed you want only that type of tactical job even if you applied for another type of position.
Im not expert but for me what you are describing is lack of knowledge on the part of the Oficial Recruiter/HR. Most times what an entry level means is : they already have someone to "train you", while mid range (lets say lvl2) is say you are ready to mentor.
I’m still at the very early stage of my career and I just left my first job out of college in search for a new one because I was severely underpaid. I managed to get 81% increase on my new job. Almost double to what I was making previously.
Although it is a great improvement and I’m very happy with it, but it’s still below the market, and so if I am being honest it’s very likely that I’d be moving to another company again after 2-3 years when I finally have gained more experience, mainly because I don’t have the luxury of choosing which company to work for, and some experience to negotiate a good salary at the moment, and it’s very difficult to get offers without relevant experience in the industry that I am in, so I am kinda forced to just accept pretty much any offer that comes in - I know it’s generally not a good idea to just accept the first offer you get, but I cannot afford to be picky at the moment, otherwise I could potentially end up unemployed for a year or more which would probably look worse on my CV and overall career.
Would that flag me as job hopper?
Thank you for posting these videos. I never would’ve had the guts to quit my previous job without watching some of your videos regarding these topics.
What is your job SW engineer ?
@@daniel3757cosal Yes
Love all the videos and the content but the background driving noise was a lot. Also seems like you went against your job hopping recommendations that made me double my salary in the past 4 months.
Who knows where we’ll be in 10 years. I think a hop every 18 months is fine until you get to your desired salary range. Once there, try and plant your feet for at least 3 years. But nobody should stay at these jobs for much longer if they’re not fully satisfied - this means compensation, benefits, fulfillment, work-life balance and with management.
Keep the content coming man, it’s all great. This is just constructive criticism. You’re doing a great job.
Really appreciate your advice Brian. Great video like always!
It seriously doesn't even matter if you job hop anymore when companies layoff people so easily. Why should employees by loyal when companies are not? People want to stay at a company for years but companies wont let them.
He is not trying to persuade you to be loyal. He is just giving a perspective of someone who is hiring. It is that simple. If YOU personally was responsible for recruiting a successful team. YOU. What would be your thought process if you came about candidates who stayed 1year max at their previous workplaces? What if a business you are hiring for have projects lasting way more than a year? What if it takes any newcomer many months to get up to speed because of complexity of the job itself and project history? All of those are very valid questions in front of hiring managers in technical field for example. I know what you would do. You wouldn't even glance at jobhopper candidates.
My biggest problem is when they see some of my temporary projects. The funny part is it is usually the people hiring for shirt contracts that complain about it.
Funny how my email inbox has more interview invitations than I can realistically attend to (how they got my email, name and career? I don't know) I even got incentives to 'job hop' and sign bonuses from them.
Is not enough? I don't want to accept? It's OK. If I give my contacts to those people I don't even know I will get a bonus so they are incentivized job hop too.
But guess what?. I am the one morally wrong if I do ever accept the 'job hop' invitation 😳🤡
*Moral of the story:* if there are sellers, there are buyers in the first place.
Job hopping will greatly increase due to automation and increased use of quantum computer based AI.
Thanks Bryan. Much appreciate the advice. It’s a year later but I hope the dentist went well.
What are you supposed to do? Wait for the yearly performance review and that $1 raise?
Agree sir with the job upgrading and strat. planning sir. I look at what is the most practical and marketable. Thank you.
I love the term job upgrade❤️!
The best way of handling an interview on the defensive is not to handle it at all. Stop interviewing for shit companies with a shit HR department. End of story.
I asked my manager what are the opportunities for growth and he answered "none".
So I'm currently an undergraduate student, and for the past 3 years or so I've been gaining experience in various Healthcare related fields (such as ER Scribe, Ophthalmic Technician, Medical Assistant, working as an MSA for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Biology/Chemistry tutor, and I start my highest paying job thus far as a Medical QA Specialist). Is this a bad strategy considering I'm building my work experience up for entrance into Medical school? I feel like I've gained some really valuable experience that a lot of my fellow classmates haven't even begun to touch yet and I feel more knowledgeable and prepared for the rigorous curriculum of Medical school. What do you think, Brian?
No that is perfect!! By the time you graduate you will have 3 years of working experience. You can definitely get a job with your degree.
Love this format. Could you do it during your dentist appointment next time?
He should have his dentist answer questions while drilling. 🤞
Piss off, I will do whatever it's best for my economy and my household.
What about someone who is always been in contract rather than stability?
I'm always worried that this is holding me back despite the fact that I've never been fired or quit from a career-relevant role. Finally got my first one without an expiration date in my field in early 2020 in the construction industry so needless to say I was jobless by April. All i could find since was temporary (only 3 months) and a downgrade from what I was doing before.
Being an Independent Contractor (IC) for over 10 years, I job hop all the time. Not by choice, but that's the way the industry is. You can get a contract for 1 yr and need to pick up a short term contract before another long term contract starts. Even though I'm an IC, my career has been very personally and financially rewarding. I started at an entry-level position, became a supervisor, and now looking at management.
Sir, I think the sound quality is sub-par.
What if you are college student and need to move from job to job?
I switched industries and of course am a junior, but I also feel that even though I am junior, I am currently being underpaid. And for me to get a raise I need to achieve some unrealistic goals from my current employer. I have only been there for 9 months and don't want to look like a job hopper.
How does one distinguish between I know I am worth more, and I want too much too fast. Help :(
Can’t take this seriously rolling around in this crazy high day rate
my last job was CSR in a warehouse. problem i notice is these jobs pay less then what i made at my last job. i do want to upgrade and get more deep into the office logistics work but many jobs don’t want to train. how do i get to the next level if 1) i can’t afford to take anything less than 18-20 and 2) nobody is willing to train???
You need to start out a community college degree. Also, at your job now, see if you can move up any. I know this is contrary to the job hopping thing, but it looks GREAT to show at your previous employer you were valued enough to get promoted and learn a new skill set to move away to a new company.
How long must you be in a job without getting promoted before seeking a better opportunity to no be considered job hopping? In my case I have a skill set for a better position. BUT im sitting around in my current position, I’m getting hours raised but not real expansion in responsibilities, best it’s gotten in the last 6 months has been going over 80s. But again I’m seeking a bigger role that I studied for that the company may have but it’s not being offered or pitched at or in the conversation.
Does your age matter and stage in career? I’m pretty keen to stay someone long term once I get into a role that fits my interests and skills:
Good advice!
Great insight! Thank you
Thank you very much for all your great advice!
I am in healthcare management, and my goal is to become CEO, COO or Vice President of a healthcare organization.
I have been able to grow my career by changing/upgrading positing every 2-3 years.
I am now a director after 9 years of manager roles with 4 different organization.
Would this be considered job hopping?
Brian, what would be your advice for someone who has been trying to get out of the employed lifestyle for almost three years and into the full-time youtuber space?
Many Independent Contractor positions these days are 'misclassified' and thus illegal.
Thanks for your videos and the important knowledge and experience you share.
I like the car driving format of this talk. Do more of this casual talk
The hard part of an interview is the truth. There has to be a mystical fantasy of dragons, unicorns, glitter and castles. A minute ago, you stepped into a phone booth and came out in a cape. You can't say you were sold a bill of goods, layoffs coming, turnover, the environment was toxic, the boss was a micromanager and the hours were brutal. How are you expected to be honest when the interviewer isn't when they present the opportunity? Such a double standard and a red flag in my opinion. If you both know why a company sucked, you have a good reason for leaving.
An employer should never make you feel defensive or make nasty comments about why you were at a job a short time. There is a valid reason you left, and it needs to be relevant. A true employer will understand maybe if they research what it is to work at a company you left. They can look at Glassdoor too and understand why you left. Nobody wants to take time and it should be part of the employer preparing for the interview.
People forget why we work- survival. The idealized career of passion and comes second. The question is how much can you put up with? Not all boxes get checked when you apply for work. That is the truth there. Work is not utopia. It can never be. We need to stop dreaming of it. A lot of us would like to see bosses turned into frogs and the cliques disappear. ALL WORKPLACES have it. Even the good ones.
Why is it that management always hires insecure people 🤔
Imagine all those taxes and forms job hopping
This car video is too distracting..
Thank you.
Life of Brian 😂
What if I job hopping a lot during my graduate degree ? Would I just have that excuses already to do so to explore more options and take in more skills in my resume ?
We as managers will see that. I dont hold it against people that are early on in their career or if is trying to manage school at the same time. However, if you have 10 years of experience and ur still working entry to mid level jobs that have HIGH overlap that tells me the odd factor out is money and money only. I avoid these type of candidates
Hey Brian!
Nothing you said makes sense.
You can’t get a raise without job hopping you fool. You think making the same 60k per year is okay for the next 20 years? Then how are we supposed to account for the crazy inflation that the democrats are currently skyrocketing? That’s not even a viable salary anymore from places like San Fransisco or New York City. Think of it from the employers perspective you say? Employees take so much shit from employers, low pay, unexpected firings, toxic environments, yet still employees still have to be goody tooshoos to employers and always worry about their concerns? Nah that’s not flying anymore, and I’m glad a lot of other people are waking up to this crap also. Job hopping should be the new norm, employers are careless to their employees, it’s time employees return the same respect.
Worried about employers seeing your job hopping resume? Just lie on your resume, you can easily make it look like you never job hopped once. Employers don’t check other past employers, as long as you have the skills to do the job you’ll do great!
You haven't been anywhere else in the world or READ/WATCH news reports from other parts in the world, do you? If you did, you would know that inflation is a worldwide problem.
Driving a Jeep!
To be fair I would think all job-hopping should ABSOLUTELY 💯 be FINISHED by the age of 30 if not sooner. . . . At this point you're already going to have approximately 8-12 years Work/Life Experience-(8 after College/12 after H.S.) If YOU haven't FIGURED "things" out yet and can't play the "GAME" by the "rules" you really should NOT be working for anybody at all and be . . . SELF EMPLOYED ! . ! . . . . AGREE . ? . ?
What if you're working for toxic small family business that causes you to job hoping and leave or not getting support to discipline employees.
Hey Brian!
