I think if you stay at your job for a little more than a year, 13 months and longer it won’t look that bad on your resume. But get it done when you’re young.

Great post; really enjoyed reading it, and it’s a topic that I’ve thought a lot about, with experience on both sides of the hiring desk. I, too, was once a doe-eyed 21 year old ready to stake my claim in the grown-up world, only to discover that advancement at my large corporate conglomorate meant putting in 5, 10, maybe even 20 years, at which point I’d be…well, old. When you’re 20, success at the age of 45 doesn’t sound all that alluring. By that time, you’ll probably have a few kids, and only a wisp of free time to actually ENJOY your success and wealth. There is, of course, a subset of people who live for that cocktail party cachet. Their definition of “making it” is a dollar figure in their bank account. If you’re at all interested, the preceding is actually one of the ideas that led me to co-create Jobstr, a job-related “ask me anything” site. What’s funny is that even though my co-founder and I had jobs that looked good “on paper”, we were surprised to find that happiness, but more importantly FULFILLMENT was largely UNrelated to job prestige. Check out this ice sculptor Q&A for example (one of my favorites): http://jobstr.com/threads/show/4365-ice-sculptor
Not a job that screams prestige, but any person who truly takes pride in doing what he does well is a rare find imo.

Great post Daisy. I just changed jobs, actually I changed careers and industries and I haven’t looked back. I took a leap of faith and it was the best decision that I ever made.

Wow, this is such a heady question! First of all, I came from a field (TV news) where you were EXPECTED to job hop – moving not just from station to station but from city to city – your entire career. I had coworkers who had lived in 7 cities in 10 years. I didn’t want that. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I wanted more stability. Then again, I also had kids in my late 20s, so I was at a different point in my life. If I were younger and not married or not a mother, I may have felt very, very differently.
