I haven't worked longer than nine months at any one place since starting my career four years ago. It hasn't hurt me in finding work. In fact, it's probably helped me. I have had a couple past places contact me for work, I have a larger network and it has given me a wider range of knowledge and experience.
Be careful about living your life based on what other people will think. Live how you want to live. You always have a choice and you are always making a choice.
The last employment position I had (currently I'm contracting) I should have quit in the first month. But instead I stuck it out and left after six months having been ashamed at the apps I was working on. I would have saved myself a lot of grief and could have found better work that I could actually be proud of. This place was the only time where I actually dreaded going to work by the end. It was so bad that one morning I was actually contemplating to just not show up and I didn't care enough to tell anyone.
- spread_thin 16y agoDo you do contract work? Or has it been run-of-the-mill full-time employment? I agree about not living based on what other people think--I guess it's the typical decision between "take a risk" and "comfortable misery"... although put that way, doesn't seem like there's really choice, does it?
