When is it fine to job-hop?

Sherry, assistant manager, HR, Percept, says, "Job-hopping is more frequent and acceptable at the junior levels. Besides, it is seen as an asset or a liability, depending on the position applied for."

Meltan D'Costa, assistant GM, Hathway, seconds this, saying, "Job-hopping might be looked upon as an asset for a sales/ marketing position, which requires exposure to various markets. But for an operations/ accounts position, the job demands someone who has a more stable track record."

So hoppers, if it adds value to your job profile, go for it!
