If they are in the a-job-every-2-years treadmill, it may not make any difference.

It probably depends on lots of factors, but I do like the consulting idea better.



> a-job-every-2-years treadmill

This is already caused as much by companies as it is by candidates who are job hoppers. When I see a resume with short stints, it basically has no effect on me any more. If the person is good and I do my job to make them happy to stay, that's the best I can hope for. Pretending like either I can predict who the job hoppers are in advance, or that I should only hire people who magically have some intrinsic desire to work for me no matter how I treat them are both fantasies.


Oh, absolutely. It tells nothing about the person.

It's only that, if one is on that position, there won't be much downside to take your offer. But if one currently has a stable job, there is.
