I guess it depends on what you want. The latter maximizes your salary, I've enjoyed not moving around though

But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Depends on the situation. I've been moving from job to job every few years at most, but I think I've finally found a company I want to stay at for the rest of my career.

Somewhere in the middle Id say. Though Im happy where Im at and dont see myself leaving again anytime soon. I left last year and realized I had it pretty good here and its rare to find a company that has a good culture and work life balance.

hopping is empirically best for maximizing income, but sticking with a job might help cultivate deeper professional relationships

Job hop at the beginning of your career. Having the experience of working within many different companies is very valuable. You have a better idea of what is acceptable in regards to both employee treatment and the policies relating to your job. Plus it's easier to get a 20% salary increase every 2 years by job hopping than raises from one company.

Once you get to the point in your career where you are in the top pay bracket, you can look for a company with a good culture and work life balance like Cleo mentioned to stay until you retire.

My first company had 401k vesting. If you pulled out at year 2, you only got 40% of their 401k contribution. Had to stick around for 5 years. Account for that when considering net benefit.

Also prolific job hopping is a net loss; you want the company to think they're going to have you for more than 1-2 years. There's an ideal medium and it's more in the 3-5 year range.

I will say this depends on the career. For instance, I work in IT in a mid sized city and it doesn't look bad whatsoever.
