So there are some peoples in HR here and some others that have been around the block.
What are the thoughts of people that are "job hoppers"
I moved to portland to chase the girl, landed a gig before we moved out here. Was with a job shop. I was put on assignment at a company for some engineering services. I proved myself here and was offered a full time gig with them. I was at the job shop for 8 months. I have been with the current company 4 months. The hours not being on contract are intense. rolling 60 hour weeks and I am salary. I get **** for putting in half days on sat..... i know, woe is me, firstworldproblems, yadayada. I do like my job tho.
I know i cannot keep this up for my sanity sake. I could really give a hoot about being management some day, i like being a peon engineer that gets **** done.
I plan on keeping this up until the project is done, we have 2 more ready after this one...... designing/building 50ft utility/military boats. I hope the load lightens up, but if it doesn't, would it look fishy to perspective employers that i went thru 2 jobs in about a year?
tl;dr, moved, didn't like a job, moved to a new one, hours are wicked long, maybe looking for a new gig soon. all in 1 year. this bad?
