I think it's very different in other fields. Software developers (especially in the Bay Area) seem to switch jobs fairly often and it's definitely an accepted practice. Other fields expect you to keep a job for a far longer time.
- achompas 14y agoI'll go even further and say it also differs by economic climate. Take today's environment. Companies can't fault people for leaving their first job when they might've landed it only after several months of searching. Chances are that job isn't a good fit for the candidate, but if you're a new grad you have to pay those loans somehow.
- misiti3780 14y agoIf your job sucks, and you're not learning shit, you should leave ASAP. Then, when your next employer says "I see you left your last job after only three months, what's up with that?" You can respond: "Honestly, my job sucked, I wasn't learning shit, and I thought it was bad for my career, but this place seems different" And this so called "blemish" is an advantage. I get what your saying, but I think if you have the balls to leave because your not learning enough, no decent employer is going to look at that as a bad thing, and if they do, you should keep searching anyways. Edit: The difference in other fields is it is harder to find a new job, but if you were good, this probably wouldnt be a problem anyways
