According to US research, job-hoppers, or those who change their jobs very often, have become increasingly common ^[3] over the last several years, mainly due to a tight labor market. Another study supports this, revealing around 83% of Gen Z employees in the US surveyed consider themselves job hoppers.

However, the story is different in Southeast Asia. In Singapore, job-hopping has reached its lowest in six years ^[4]. About 14.7 percent of workers changed jobs in the past two years, a rate not seen since 2017. In the Philippines, a 2022 report ^[5] revealed concerns around the idea of switching jobs without having another job offer lined up, mainly due to the coined term "Great Resignation,"^[6] which pertains to the trend of employees resigning en masse.

Job-hopping is often viewed as a risky career move, but it can offer significant benefits. For job seekers, it can mean higher salaries, better career advancement opportunities, and more job satisfaction. Employers, on the other hand, can benefit from fresh perspectives and new skills brought in by job hoppers.

However, job-hopping also presents challenges. It requires careful planning and bold decisions, as frequent job changes can sometimes be perceived negatively by potential employers. This is where Bossjob steps in, providing the tools, insights and support needed to make informed and confident career moves.
