Comments on: Is Job Hopping Bad For My Career? http://www.asktheharvardmba.com/2008/08/30/is-job-hopping-bad-for-my-career/ My name is Chris Yeh. I'm a Harvard MBA, and you can ask me anything!

Looking for Job Charming in every position and then storming off at the first sign of disappointment is bad. A person in that situation needs to look inward. Being a very quick learner who wants to keep growing is good. A person in that situation doesn't need to learn to be slower; he needs to find a line of work that capitalizes on that skill.

Check out a career in general consultancy (eg McKinsey, Monitor, BCG, Bain etc). Such a position is highly respectable, pays well and offers constantly changing challenges.
