It's often touted that modern generations are more willing to job-hop than their predecessors, but is this helpful for their careers?

Will Brookes, CEO of business news company Raconteur, doesn't think so.

"I believe if you are working at an organization where there are a few frustrations, and you help the company work through its challenges, then that company is far more likely to reward and to progress you subsequently and that those rewards might just be a little bit bigger than the rewards you would get by continually moving company," Will Brookes told CNBC Make It.

However, he admits that this isn't true of everyone.

"If there's a toxic culture or a leadership team that will never listen to you, then get out of there," he advised.

But Brookes said that riding out the career lows in order to experience the career highs helped him climb the ladder to CEO.

"We've had some tricky times over the years, but I've always believed in the cause I've always loved the culture," Brookes said of his career so far at Raconteur. "I stuck with the business and I like to think I've helped the business get back to a really high level of success. And I've also benefited from that myself, as have a number of other senior people at Raconteur."

This is just one of Will Brookes' biggest lessons. Watch the video above for more.
