Job Hopping Rate
Executives at the high end of the pay scale are likely to have switched jobs between one and three times during the last 10 years.
The most common number of job changes in a 10-year period was three, says TheLadders.com, an online recruiting firm. Twenty-four percent of its respondents say that's how often they changed jobs. Following closely behind, 23% made two job changes and 21% made just one in a 10-year span.
"While it is good to have a few career stops on your resume, there is a stigma that comes with excessive job-hopping," said TheLadders.com founder and President Marc Cenedella. "People at the higher levels of the corporate structure often need two or more years to fully implement programs, get some results and have an impact on the job. For that reason, candidates with five and six job changes in a 10-year period automatically raise red flags for recruiters and hiring managers."
