I mostly agree with this, especially on senior roles. But what constitutes a short stint? How many short stints does it take to negatively impact future opportunities? Does 2 yrs suffice to demonstrate real impact?

There is a lot of grey area here. Almost everyone can agree that less than a year consecutively in a role is a short stint. But people have begun to gamify the system. I see many resumes with ~2yrs exp in each role before they jump on to next. Where would you classify them?

Curious about this as well. What’s the difference of 2 years of experience, vs. 2.5, vs. a full 3 years? Sure, everyone can agree 4 years, a fully vested tenure is commitment by this industry’s standards. But where is the line between 2-3?
