MODERATORS
At my giant workplace, they don't think people are "experienced" enough unless they move around. Then in hiring they also comment negatively about those who move around too much. It's all arbitrary bullshit. Whatever random feelings a hiring manager has. Never what is actually needed for the job.
Yep, been at this job 10 years and only seeing annual raises of about 2%. Maybe we got 3-4% last year, but that was the exception and that was still a 4-5% paycut given what inflation is/was. I'm comfortable at my job though is what keeps me, and I'm sure that's what businesses bank on. Workers are too afraid to look elsewhere for a job, so they'll just stick it out no matter how much they're losing.
We all have a different idea of what a high salary is but I would suggest anything in the area of $100k or the equivalent is good in almost any part of the world.
That said, I have a good salary which has risen by a little less than 65% in the 10 years I’ve been in the same job. I realise that’s not typical but changing jobs isn’t always the only way to a high salary.
Or some more sage advice: keep interviewing and an eye on salaries and compare that to your realistic prospectives at your job. Employers aren't dumb, and if they see that you move around a lot they might not even bother hiring you.
My manager does this. If he sees that a job candidate hops jobs a lot he won't give them an interview. That being said, our yearly raises meet/exceed inflation and he's a pretty good manager
Just because they are good and your job gives raises doesn't mean previous employers did.
If you want loyalty get a dog, I work to get paid.
If someone's spent less than 2 years at their 3 most recent jobs, there's a high chance they're job hopping. Especially if they're engineers in a discipline that can take months to a year to be fully capable of the tasks needed.
