Forbes has revealed that all those loyal troopers who stay in their job for longer than two years are likely to be earning 50 per cent less than their job-hopping contemporaries.
The article explained that in the US, a raise (if granted) for those in the US was likely to be less than one per cent but for those enterprising folk who chose to jump around, the opportunity is there to move up a pay bracket.
Don't go quitting just yet - there is a recommended strategy to this one.
Changing jobs too often is still seen as a negative for many prospective employees - but the key here is "too often", not "never."
Speaking to Forbes, a recruiting expert explained that while looking to hire, they would "not consider anyone who has had more than three jobs in the last 10 years, no matter the reason."
But they still recommended that "an employee makes a transition every three to four years for maximum salary gains".
This means that what you need most is a strategy for the optimum amount of time for each role and subsequent move - not if, just when - and three to four years in between job hops seem to be the safest bet.
