The top management in India Inc needs to review the career advancement programmes for their employees if they have to retain talent in what promises to be a prolonged growth phase of the business cycle.  Majority of Indian employees feel that they must switch jobs to advance to a higher job. But frequent job changes can kill your career also.....

So, is job hopping advisable??

In my opinion if a employee is not satisfied with his/her profile they can change jobs. Job hopping includes provision of opportunities to learn new things, more monetary benefits, exposure to new organisational culture and practices, etc. Thus that is plus point of hopping jobs....

I don't agree with you. One shouldn't keep on hopping jobs. This has become a real headache for the employers. It has more negative than positives. Frequent changes without a justifies reason could land you in trouble.

if the Employer feels that we are not up to their mark or if they dosint have much works ahead will they retain us.....???will they pay  us.....???if you are supporting the above argument then the employer should be capable enough to retain and protect there employees in any circumstances..they should periodically upgrade there status in all respects....failing to do so... job hopping will continue......

cmon, if we do not job hop then why do we need an HR to recruit??...job hopping is not bad as long as he/she is hopping for good reasons...i mean look at the brighter side of it...the potential employer benefits with the amount of exp. he brings in and the previous employer can now depend on some potential employee to take the co. forward with his invaluable exp. elsewhere...so who loses??none...if no one hops then, we would see the same ol' ideas being presented and the same ol' graphs in the MRMs denting the spirit to take the co. forward...think +ve..B +ve...

I think Job hopping is advisable. I agree to Punam Dutta that it is an area  of headache for employers but employers are responsible for job hopping culture in India.

 

If we want to stop job hopping (which is next to impossible in India) employers should not consider those profiles where there is no stability.

 

Employees will continue job hopping because of new Lucrative compensation, Position, etc…  There are very few employees in India who are nor LOYAL to their employees and stick to their company.

Job hopping should always be the function of right time, right opportunity, right culture etc etc....Just because everyone is changing one should not change his/her job

Job hopping after a resonable period of time from a company that does not give opportunity to grow as an individual or fails to provide enough exposure across departments within the organisation. At times monotony and repetitive work culture drains out the energy from the individual, and fails to motivate the individual who love to learn and feel activated while facing challenges. Every third month should definitely not be a trend, but 2 years a good enough time to stay in a company with a promising profile, and check for opportunities after that if they are not happy with the profile. Otherwise there would be superficial knowledge rather than indepth and experiencial knowledge.
