Hi Yogesh,
Good start. What I would like to say is that today's scenario is different from the earlier one. Nowadays, people are changing jobs within 1 year or so because of a lot of opportunities in the market. However, it all depends on the profile too.

Hi Yogesh,
Good topic you bring to notice of everybody. The attrition is high in many industries, so we need to ask this question. I feel it also depends upon the satisfaction level. If I'm satisfied with the pay package, conditions, environment, work, and people, I don't think I'll leave a company in the next 10 years.

Hi Yogesh,
This is a nice exercise, but I feel it's ambiguous. I would prefer not to change an organization provided it gives an opportunity to learn new things, the environment is conducive, and of course, pay also matters.

Dear Archana and Shiju,
Your points are valid. Of course, given that the environment, pay, boss, profile, etc., are okay – is what we are taking as standard work conditions. The issue, as rightly pointed out, is attrition. It takes time for any employee to begin really contributing to an organization only after a period of time spent in that organization, and thus the person grows with the organization.
You will notice that several CEOs, GMs, VPs are those people who have not changed a single employer. One of the World heads of HSBC International was addressing a gathering of 400+ recruiters recently that today he is at that post because he has grown with the company in the past 25 years.

Hi Yogesh,
It is always good to grow with the organization's growth. In fact, when we grow with the organization, we definitely experience faster and better growth. A person can switch jobs early in their career, but from my experience, it becomes difficult to find a good job later on, leading to settling with compromises in their job. My point is, we often cite good pay, job satisfaction, etc., as criteria for switching jobs. However, it's unrealistic to expect to find all desired aspects in a single job, so compromises are sometimes necessary. Understanding this and making decisions about job switching can greatly benefit our industry, leading to a more successful career.

I feel it's all based on the environment and culture of the company. For me, the culture of the company matters. A sense of belonging should be present in a company for me not to consider leaving. Additionally, the profile and pay should align with market standards. It's all based on how I perceive the environment of the company.

Hi guys,
I would like to share this topic based on my experience. I can stay for a long time in one company because of the following reasons:
1. The atmosphere or environment of the company.
2. Teamwork among the management and the staff.
3. Last but not least, of course, salary and benefits.

Really, a very subjective question. I was very happy working with a consultancy for 1 year (that was my first job). But I got a break in a UK-based corporate. It was obvious for me to join them. But now it has just been 2 months here, and I don't see things working in my favor. I am suffocating here. What should I do? If I decide to look for a change within 3 months, it obviously shows instability, which is not the case. However, money is not the reason for looking out. Very sad that in HR, there is so much struggle in the initial stages.
