> Sure, if your interests are closely aligned with the company. But as you noted, the junior engineer jumped ships 3 times already, probably with significant salary increase each time, and in part due to a CV that includes the use of exciting modern tech, which shows he's eager to learn and is passionate etc. Why would he care how the old company is doing?
Sounds to me like this is an endorsement of hiring less-shiny candidates who have been at their previous employers for longer rather than the shiny candidate who keeps jumping ship every time.
