Hey y’all, I’m Nikki Winston and welcome to #CareerConvos™️ with Nikki. Today I’m talking about job hopping and the debate around whether it’s good or bad for your career. Early in my career, I moved around a lot for different reasons — relocations, divestitures, bad culture, or toxic managers. I believe if you hate your job, you shouldn’t stay just to build tenure. Being unhappy at work hurts you and the team.

I also discuss the importance of building real relationships with recruiters before expecting them to find you a job. It’s about long-term connections not instant placements. Sometimes people chase titles or money and jump jobs too quickly. But job hopping isn’t always bad - context matters.

I share how I manage my team with honest conversations and support for their growth. Leadership means people management and making sure your team feels valued and engaged. Thanks for listening and join the conversation by tagging me @NikkWinstonCPA and using #CareerConvos™️.
