Great short read! I’ve actually been asked about my job history recently and tried to convey much of what you described here.
I did however ask a hiring manager how can they be sure that a person who works the same job for 5 years isn’t just coasting. They just smiled and moved on.
That's a clever comeback, ha. Unfortunately poor managers rarely take a thoughtful, well-intentioned critique in a productive way. So you sorta filtered them out too!
Dave- Your insight on high performers' job hopping tendencies is something more people should be aware of. So glad you brought this topic up. Hope you're well this week. Cheers, -Thalia
