40 years old, changed 10 companies in 15 years of experience.
I need your suggestions, please:
- Stay in the current company to show stability.
- Move if a new offer is found, considering that the company doesn't retain people after a certain age, and aim to earn as much as possible.
- Do companies pay less to hire people who have changed jobs frequently?

Hi,
Both pros and cons exist, and it all depends on your industry. Primarily, changing jobs frequently can lead to a loss of seniority and benefits. An experienced recruiter/technical manager would not consider a candidate with a history of multiple short-term jobs for their open positions. However, you may gain a higher salary, diverse work environment experience, etc.
If there is a good demand for your experience and skill set, your age will not be a constraint for the salary.
So, before you make a move, apply your mind, list the pros and cons, and make a decision.

Dear member,
You have changed companies 10 times in the last 15 years, resulting in an average tenure of 1.5 years per company. This duration is notably short. While frequent job changes can be acceptable at lower levels, it is generally not favorable for higher-level positions. Assuming you are currently in a managerial role, if not, your priority should be securing a managerial-level position.
Your inquiry pertains to whether companies offer lower salaries to candidates who switch jobs frequently. Employers tend to be cautious during the hiring process, preferring candidates with stable career histories. Rather than reducing pay, companies may opt not to hire individuals who frequently change jobs. Examining the CV of a job hopper could raise concerns for a hiring manager, leading to doubts about the circumstances of past job transitions.
You also inquired about whether to transition to a new company or remain in your current role to extend your tenure. Providing a definitive answer without knowledge of your industry norms or current position is challenging. However, a general guideline is to seek both financial and intellectual growth, aiming for a balance between the two. Consider whether you are gaining knowledge from your current Head of Department (HOD). If your HOD is experienced and willing to share knowledge, staying in your current role, despite external opportunities, may be beneficial. While remaining in your present company could limit financial gains, the value of acquiring knowledge should not be overlooked as it can propel your career forward.
Have you developed a career plan, conducted a SWOT analysis of your career, and sought feedback on your weaknesses?
Lastly, a note on your message. Given your 15 years of experience, forum members would anticipate a more polished communication. Your post lacks a proper introduction, transitional sentences, and contains a few grammatical errors. Reflect on the reasons for this informality and aim to improve your communication skills for the benefit of your career.
Thanks,
