Is job-hopping good for your career?

Job-hopping — or switching employers after less than two years — can help some workers unlock higher salaries or new opportunities. But Amy Lang, senior vice president of strategy and insights at Staples, says there are benefits to staying with one employer for the long haul. These include deepening your relationships with colleagues and senior executives and having more of a runway to define your own career path. Nowadays, internal transfers are becoming more common too, giving workers the chance to develop without having to uproot themselves.
