Ask HN: Did you change jobs during the Great Reshuffling and regret it?
by buttocks on Hacker News.
The Great Resignation or the Great Reshuffling pretty much started in 2021 and is still going very strong today. It’s hard not to feel like you could be missing out if you don’t take the opportunity now to pursue a better job, especially one with better pay and work-from-home arrangements. That’s how I felt as my coworkers started moving on to better roles, and when the recruiters started hitting me on LinkedIn, I decided to pay attention. Now a month into my new job, I feel like a traitor and sell-out. I had a long tenure at my previous role and had life pretty easy. I can’t help but feel that the current wave of job changing is fueled by hype and greed, and honestly I do not think that companies deserve to be screwed by all this turnover. While I am confident I can do fine in my new role, I have a nagging disappointment about contributing to this current trend.
