Is Job-hopping Good or Bad?

How long should you stay at a job before you leave and if you keep switching jobs is that a bad thing? I live in the Bay Area and I can say from looking at my LinkedIn stream that people are job hopping like rabbits. Many people are concerned with how switching jobs makes them look on paper and we’ve all had that awkward conversation with a hiring manager where we are asked, “Why did you only stay at your previous job for 9 months?” In this episode of the future in 5 I talk about why job-hopping isn’t always a bad thing.
