Thanks for the write-up. I would like to hear more about your experience in switching jobs so fast. When you started looking for a new position, did you try to maximize pay, or did you feel that you could really stay at each of these companies in the long run?

I am currently thinking of switching jobs, but I don't know if I should be playing a numbers game or genuinely looking for a good fit, or somewhere I could grow internally.

I hopped to anywhere that would take me! It depends on how stable you are though. Fastest way to more money is hopping, but theres alot to be said for working at places you like/will be able to grow.

I'll write another quick one on this topic later.

Hey, and thanks for being available to answers questions. Here's one: Aren't you concerned that new employees will pickup that you're a job hopper and think that you're not to be trusted to stay at their company for long either?

Not really. It's an employee's market. On average tho I've stayed 1 year at each place though so which is standard.

I really really need to do this more - usually stay at least 2 or 3 because I am lazy - market is so hot right now I could see one or two hops getting me to a nice spot
