Job-hopping: Path to success or red flag?

SINCE joining the workforce in 2014, Naomi Goh has held five different jobs, most for a year or two. This has proved more than worthwhile for the 33-year-old – according to her, each move gave her more growth opportunities, as well as a better work environment and sense of fulfilment.
Another pay-off was the trebling of her salary, as she jumped from the public relations industry to tech.
“I originally thought I would get a job and stick with it – not staying in my first job showed me what it was like in the ‘outside’ world,” Goh says.
