With all the above, would you share how long on the average do you stay at one job?

- lozenge 8y agoYou should be able to filter for this before you take a job. Just remember that it comes at a compromise - you will miss out on opportunities that are "better, but..."
- dasmoth 8y agoYou should, yes, but it seems as though open plan offices and the trappings are close to 100% in some areas. Remote jobs now seem to be the main alternative, but not everyone loves that setup (especially those who want to keep the work/home distinction super-clear).
- dkersten 8y agoMy last two jobs were two years and one year. I only left the first because I was offered a team lead position working in technologies that I care enough about to run the local meet ups for, and the other I left only because the work I ended up doing was very different from what I was hired to do (ie I ended up doing rather little of the tech I was hired for), if I’d went into it knowing that, I’d have been a lot happier doing it, although I would have stayed in the first job then. Before that, I founded two failed startups one after the other, so those were out of the ordinary jobs. So, recent jobs, not very long, but the reasons I left were not because of noise related lack of focus. I try to be pretty open and direct with my bosses about what my plans or needs are and what I can offer given the environment I’m in.
