Maybe I'm strange, but the idea of starting a new job with the intention of quitting doesn't sit right with me. To me, that would be like getting married with the intention of getting a divorce.
I know that realistically, I'm probably going to find a different job at some point, but it's always been a natural progression and not a planned movement.
- JoeAltmaier 5y agoSo every job acceptance has to be accompanied by a lifetime commitment? That sounds even stranger.
- toomanybeersies 5y agoMaybe marriage wasn't a good simile... I've never started a job thinking "I'm going to work here for X years, and then quit (for Y reason)". I've also never started a job expecting to work there for the rest of my career, although I would be happy if it was a good job and I did. I might end up quitting my current job after a year or two, I might be here 10 years, maybe I'll leave in a casket. I don't have a set date for when I'll quit. My father has had the same job for over 40 years. He's had different roles (originally a telecommunications rigger, now a network engineer) and worked for different companies (buyouts etc.), but he's never actually had to apply for a new job. He's enjoyed his work and had a good career. I guess there's not many jobs like that these days though.
