Tenure and Stay

Recently, a huge IT company contacted me and set me up for a series of interviews. Having hurdled 2, I'm told to wait for the 3rd interview where I'm to speak to the APAC CFO. For the first time, I'm faced with a dilemma as I am not truly inclined to move yet I do feel as if I'm stagnating thus a part of me welcomes a move.

Yet that means another set of uprooting myself and gettting acclimitized to a new culture. Something that can be double edged...

In this country, job hopping is seen with adverse eyes, often with a high level of anxiety when people begin to contemplate hiring you. In the span of 3 years, I have jumped into 3 companies putting my average stay just a year each. Despite the enormous impact I've had with my current company, there is still a tremendous amount of work I can do. Moving can be premature but the draw of new work and new people beckons me.

Times like these I could use an extra set of ears that are unbiased.
