Nguyen previously wrote a guest post in Business Insider that detailed his post-graduation move from New York City to Seattle for a tech job and how it “turned out to be the loneliest time of my life.”

Sounds like The Seattle Freeze.

Anyway. Yeah, if I'm looking at a candidate and see they had three jobs in three years, that's a minus. Are they insufferable and they're being fired? Are they actually bad at their job? Even if they are good at their job, are they going to stick around here long enough to be worth the resources spent onboarding them?

It's a risky move.

Would be better if employers made more effort to retain people, but here we are.

Yes, however recruiters see someone like this and see a great opportunity to fill their quota, so it all balances out.
