    There’s not enough context here to have a strong opinion, but I’ll add that personally, nothing has given me a bigger raise than getting a job at another company.

    I’ve had 50. It depends on the person and the jobs.

    Some jobs are minimum wage BS jobs that people are doing just to stay alive, if you burn out on a BS job in 6 weeks that’s nothing to be ashamed of.

    I also typically have worked multiple jobs at the same time. I’ve had two full-time jobs and a part-time job while going to school and not sleeping for more than 5 hours a night for like 9 months.

    Are you going to hold that against me, or does it show that I have the drive and initiative to accomplish my goals no matter how difficult they may be?

    Sure, I bounced between jobs a lot when I was in my teenage years and my early twenties, but once I hit college and built a career and my employment history has been Rock fucking solid, typically 3+ years between job changes.

    I would say that my last 14 years of employment weighs a lot more heavily than my first 5 years of employment.

    Impressive. I’m only up to a dozen or so, would be more, but Verizon was worth sticking around for 10 years. Other than that, my record is two or three years.

    Let’s judge him for doing something different, while being too afraid of doing the same.

    I was up to 14 at age 25. When you’re young and inexperienced, any schmuck that will pay you and be slightly less abusive than the last guy is worth working for, and you never owe the last person anything.

    I don’t correlate much from job count. I have had 5 in the last 8 years, two of those following layoffs. Shit happens.

      Lol shit happens when something unexpected happens. Usually when it is also something out of one’s conteol. 40+ occurances is not “shit happens.”

      But like a bunch of people already stated there is barely enough info to even speculate off of nuch less have an opinion of.
