- mad_exscientist 8y agoThat'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.
- paulie_a 8y agoDon'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.
- empath75 8y agoThe last two times I was actively recruited.
- keiferski 8y agoNot 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.
- paulie_a 8y agoPersonally I find it a short term stint considering it probably takes upwards of 5-6 months to get upto speed and be genuinely productive.
- drchickensalad 8y agoReally? I've always heard 2y or more at each place is the line of no suspicion, and from more conservative sources than HN. Interesting.
