Ronin engineers

The are engineers who manage their career by jumping from company to company about every year or so. I call these types of engineers “Ronin” (Masterless Samurai) as they have given up the idea that they will work for the same company for the rest of their lives, and instead wonder the job market looking for new challenges and more compensation. Loyalty to a particular company is completely missing, as in their eyes the opposite is true. “If a company can lay off an employee at any time,” the logic goes, “then I can leave at anytime I wish.”
