Have to be careful though, it doesn't look good on a resume when job hopping every few years. Many companies won't give those people the time of day because why invest in a job hopper.

this is an issue only when you are job hopping every 6 mo.

and not an issue at all for senior level positions, where the ratio of job openings:applicants is skewed strongly in favor of those with the needed experience.

the ideal employee experience is take a new position, work it long enough to receive a full year performance review and salary action. if your salary action is good (4% or more), you can consider staying. if it is poor, you have the perfect justification for leaving.

"I received an excellent performance review but a poor salary action" is a highly respected and understood reason for leaving an employer in most work areas.
