If you don't mind my asking, if you "loved" two of the places you have worked why have you been through four employers in 4-1/2 years?
I love my current employer, which is why I have stayed there 19 years.
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoThe tech jobs I've worked have ended roughly thus: Company went under Short-term contract for specific task Department downsized Short-term contract for specific task Department downsized Short-term contract for specific task Short-term contract for specific task I have never quit a job since finishing school. I'd have loved to stay on at several of those places for the rest of my career, but that's not how most of the industry works these days. If you've been able to stay at a job you love for 19 years, you're very lucky.
- pc86 10y agoEven with quick promotions, you are much more likely to end up with a higher salary by moving jobs every 1.5-3 years. I'm 30 and the longest I've been at a job is 21 months. It's never been brought up as a negative and I've got plenty of experience across multiple business domains and companies.
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoYeah, it's pretty much taken as normal these days. I'd still rather have job stability than a sky-high salary, if I was given the choice.
