C0D4681382yI'm almost at 9 years since I job hopped. I Probably should pay more attention to the world.

We3D26712y@aaronswart it's always a trade off, I had changed 5-6 companies so far and am already planning my next hop... I just can't find a place that fills all my needs ( or just shitty management, boss... already got 1 burn out )

It is not the standard. 1 year per job is a bit on the short side and having at least been 2-3 years at one place can be more "standard".
But it's usually fine.
If you've got a 4 year career with 4 jobs I wouldn't mind. You learn a lot from changing jobs and we all know for juniors the first job can have a low salary, so you move up, then you try something new a few times before you find something you love.
But a 12 year career without more than one year per job might make management think twice and want to double check you're not a "habitual job hopper".
it depends a lot on the job/codebase though, with that much experience you can be trusted to do most tasks. Allthough if they normally have people stay for 4 years and there's a lot of education - they might not wanna invest in a job hopper.
Is having a CV history of job hopping within a year the standard? Are you still getting great job offers?
I'm aiming to spend another 2 years in my company just because the flexibility and work pacing is good, but need to know if job tenure is a big deal or not and start chasing more competitive salaries.
