Job-hopping increases, in possible boon to wage growth and productivity
As a hiring manager, the number of resumes that cross my desk that have 4 months here, 9 months here, 6 months here is absolutely astounding. These are full-time positions. It&#x27;s especially true of front-end developers, but it applies across the board.<p>I talked to one guy recently who said, &quot;The first four months at my current job were really interesting and I learned a lot, but these last two months I&#x27;ve been kind of bored. That&#x27;s why I&#x27;m looking.&quot;<p>I don&#x27;t hire them.<p>If it&#x27;s one or two jobs on a resume full of longer tenures, that&#x27;s one thing. But if it&#x27;s every job you&#x27;ve had since you graduated from coding bootcamp two years ago (three jobs later, now looking for the fourth), why invest in that person? Why bother?<p>It&#x27;s a vicious circle. In the short term you might earn more money from giant corporations who can absorb the churn and need a body on a project, but managers will calculate the ROI of investing in you as negative.
