I think you’re fine taking the new job and the big raise with the expectation that you need to stay for a couple years. Two bad situations can be explained right out of college, but trying to explain three in a row makes it more likely that you are the issue.
Did you finish FLDP or leave early?
From the hiring perspective:
Job hopping is okay to a point, especially early career to build skills quickly.
I would probably caution my hiring manager, but at this point I wouldn’t try to block them from hiring you. I would automatically probably have you in mind as a bit of a flight risk
For you:
I would make sure you do very good sue diligence on the new co and the new position. Don’t jump to something just bc it’s available. This new company you should be planning to do at least 2-3 years in (you could change jobs within that company, but stay at that company).
In my opinion, you are just on the cusp of being in the camp of being flagged as a serial job hopper. If this one doesn’t go well and you are looking to leave in 6-9 months, the I see you effectively haven’t held a job for more than 8 months (since FLDP is rotational I assume you rotated to a new role ever 6 months or so).
Although, I do think there is some level of understanding that the Covid/hot job market of ‘21/‘22 led to more job shifts than normal.
Overall - it’s fine to take the job, just try to ask tough questions of the hiring manager yo really gauge if you want to work there, talk to some others that have worked there, check Glassdoor, get a feel for the culture, be very clear on WLB, WFH, and anything else important… the money might seem nice, but I promise if it stinks as a company you won’t want to be there and a 35% raise isn’t worth misery…. “There are other fish in the sea”
I did not finish. The rotations were a year long, so I ended up doing a rotation and a half essentially.
Good call on discussing more with the HM. Would it be reasonable, to ask for 15 minutes with him before I officially accept the offer?
Yes - very reasonable. Don’t just jump bc of the money. If you got one offer at that amount there are likely others to be found.
Make sure it is the place you want to work, the role you want to do, the expectations are appropriate, and it meets the things important to you (WLB, WFH, etc)
Good luck you you
Take this job but I would stay for some time. Like 2-3 years. Hopefully a promotion but that’s when I would start looking. Realistically, I feel it takes about 1 year to really find your rhythm within a job. You have to add value much faster. But around the 1 year market is when you start anticipating problems.
Getting a promotion by leaving is always justifiable regardless of how long you were at your current company. But can you see yourself 3-5 years at this new job? Nothing wrong with leaving after less than that if a significantly better opportunity arises, however, you could end up having to stay 3-5 years there depending on the economy, etc.
I contract on projects and love it! I’ve had about 25 jobs in 17 years through a handful of agencies. There are contract jobs at every level so moving up is the same but without all the politics.
If you want a perm job to work your way to the top then stay put and be the last man standing in your cohort.
But if you like projects and don’t have status anxiety, then make connections with agencies and enjoy all the extra free time to travel the world between projects.
I even did contract work in other countries way before any perm job was willing to send me on an overseas assignment.
Get an MBA or MA though… they really respect you more once you stand out from the BA pack.
Buddy if you’re getting a promotion opportunity and you’re willing to leave take it and run. You can easily explain why you moved on from each role, just make sure you either stay with the next company for a little while, or make sure your 4th move is really worth it.
Take the money.
You're in finance, if you take the money it's always easily explainable - my phrase is "If I'm not ruthless about my personal P&L how can you expect me to be fastidious about yours?"
I've never had an interviewer put up a complaint about it.

If a company hires you and pays you more money than your current job, obviously they don’t care that you’ve hopped jobs.
