Well, you might now want to give up yet. I remember, in the beginning of my career, i never lasted more than 1 or 2 years at a given company. Then one day, I found the right company and worked there for 6 years!
LinkedIn Resumes are filled with software engineers who don't last longer than 12 months, just look at all your coworker's linkedIn profiles. It's not that uncommon.
- theonething 9y agoI also have had a similar experience early in my career of shorter stints. If you don't mind sharing, what were some attributes that made the company the right one and what were attributes of the companies you didn't like?
- pascalxus 9y agoThe good company i stayed with for a long time had a culture of good work life balance, excellent management, and the tech stack was a perfect fit for my development. Plus, I got the luck of being on a product that remained in existence for five years, which is pretty rare. Most of the time when people get laid off, its because the product they're working on died. Bad companies typically have low retention and are always losing employees for one reason or another.
