That's quite exactly what it has been for me in the past 5 years. Now I'm approaching the age of 35 and asking myself whether there is a single job that makes for most of my working life at all.
The desire to have such a job grows as things around me (family, friends) start to be more steady.
Don't you have troubles finding work? I review resumes at times and I don't expect someone to be married to a company. But three years is a warning sign. Companies fail, there was a bad culture. But job hopping is a reason to not want to hire someone.
The last two times I was actively recruited.
Not sure what industry you’re in, but three years doesn’t translate as ‘job hopping’ to me. If anything, 2 years is an average ‘acceptable’ job length.
Personally I find it a short term stint considering it probably takes upwards of 5-6 months to get upto speed and be genuinely productive.
Really? I've always heard 2y or more at each place is the line of no suspicion, and from more conservative sources than HN. Interesting.
