    A few weeks ago, I interviewed and recommended we hire a contractor candidate, who I will call \\u201cBob\\u201d. We hired \\u201cBob\\u201d. Today was the first time I saw \\u201cBob\\u201d since the interview, only \\u201cBob\\u201d was not the person I interviewed. It seems \\u201cBob\\u201d had someone else pretend to be him to pass the interview. What should I do?

    Thank you for doing this show, it\\u2019s amazing and I look forward to listen to it every week. I\\u2019m a software engineer with 3.5 years of experience and in those years I\\u2019ve worked at 5 different companies consecutively, increasing my salary by around 50~70% every time I change jobs. At this point I\\u2019m afraid that it looks really bad in my resume since the longest that I\\u2019ve been at one company is 1 year and 3 months but at the same time it is really tempting to keep growing my salary and benefits that easily. Does changing jobs every ~1 year have a negative effect on my employability in the long run?
