As a rule, those who want to change jobs start looking for new opportunities in secret before the Spring Festival; after receiving their year-end bonuses at the end of the year, they begin to attend interviews and switch jobs after the Spring Festival. Therefore, under these circumstances, companies: 1. Usually start recruiting and building up a pool of talent in December, before the Spring Festival, in order to avoid shortages of staff; 2. Begin scheduling interviews after the Spring Festival and systematically dismiss employees who are not suitable for the role; 3. Assess new employees over a period of 3 months and dismiss those who fail the assessment. Generally speaking, recruitment activities by companies continue until mid-May. 4. Many companies have ongoing recruitment plans; in fact, they don’t need employees at that time, but they still actively recruit more suitable candidates. After all, companies understand that a good talent can bring about significant improvements in areas such as technology and sales. Therefore, I advise my colleagues to: 1. Work diligently in their companies without being impatient, and especially to proceed carefully when considering job changes. 2. It’s certainly good to look for a job around the Spring Festival, but this is also a peak period for professionals to change jobs, so companies may be less inclined to interview candidates with senior qualifications. For us technical professionals, it’s important to keep an eye on job listings so that we can have thorough discussions with company executives during interviews. 3. Don’t change jobs too frequently; sometimes, to improve your technical skills, it’s necessary to sacrifice your income, and you should learn to be patient in order to achieve better prospects in the future. 4. Frequent job changes may result in weak technical skills, where you know a little about everything but are not proficient in any area, which prevents you from obtaining high-paying positions. If anyone has any other good suggestions, feel free to share your insights
It makes sense; moving to a new nest is only a last resort. People strive to reach higher heights, while water flows toward lower levels!
Whether you jump or not, you have to give up something. Alas!

That makes a lot of sense. I just wonder how companies can determine the quality of talent during the period when they are building up their workforce Just based on the interview? What are everyone’s thoughts?
Generally, it depends on the actual level of performance and capabilities in one’s work; if one has good relationships with supervisors and colleagues and has decent work skills, then there are usually no problems
Whether you jump or not, you have to give up something. Alas!
Changing jobs is done to become a better version of oneself, but one should not do so blindly; some preparation is needed, along with careful consideration
Change jobs at the best time； It is important to have a career plan in place before changing jobs.
