  It's written by the CEO of LinkedIn. So there's a huge bias in favor of making people's employment temporary so that they rely on his product to find further opportunities.

  I mean, that would be great for LinkedIn, right? If everyone had to start a new job every 2-4 years?

  But at large companies, experience at the company is very valuable. Proprietary tooling, complex codebases, complicated processes, etc. all contribute to a big amount of time wasted during onboarding. The more you switch jobs, the more time gets wasted to onboarding.
