As long as you are helping achieve goals and objectives of your team, doing job honestly nobody will question job hopping
Your poll options don’t reflect the different scenarios
Doesn’t matter. I’ve seen great outcomes from job hoppers that have a different job every year and people who stay at the same company for decades. Depends more on your output and achievements in those years. Not having enough YOE is a far bigger problem.
As long as you spend 3 years plus that’s fine
Four year stints is a good amount of time to get acclimated with a company and to have completed several long-term projects to show on your resume. It’s also enough time to get promoted if your cards align. If you have 1-2 years at many companies (think 2-4) consecutively and you weren’t a contractor/consultant/laid off, I would get the impression you either (a) job hop because you just chase TC, (b) got managed out due to bad interpersonal relationships with coworkers, or (c) get bored easily or didn’t get to work on the newest shiny project. I’m not a hiring manager but it gives me the impression I would be training someone how to use our code base knowing they will leave in 9 months. It’s disheartening to do KT sessions with someone who is a flight risk.
Good thing these candidates wont apply to your company. You guys are looking for loyal code monkeys who dont know about money well
You would be surprised how long our developers have worked here. A good immediate manager, great WLB and lots of scope can keep a team together. You must have fallen into the first category. My company is definitely not going to make you rich but you also won’t hate your life.
depends on the recruiter’s maturity level and who he/she wants to date
2 > 3 > 1 I think 3 years is the sweet spot. But 5+ years in a company makes me question how the engineer would be outside the company exosystem
You should make a poll out of those three, which looks best. It also depends if you’re an ic out in leadership
