I generally change jobs every couple of years, but that's IT for you.

Current Employer: 2 years and seven months
Previous Employer: 11 months

Only had two jobs. I read a report a while back that says people normally change every few years, so it'd be interesting to see some figures around here.

kermey,
Reason for the question ???
Just a tail spin of the thread regarding casual Vs fulltime
Many were swaying towards full time and its benefits
Just thought i see what people are actually working with employers before moving on
Hence this question

I am on my 6th different employer in the last 12 months. That is the nature of the type of work I do, mostly shutdown type stuff, so you have to follow the work!

Just counted up all my different employers. 17 and 2 of them were for 11 years. I like new things

Cheers

I work two jobs, my fulltime one I have just ticked over 3 years with the current one, and my casual one I am just about to come up on 4 years.

If working for yourself counts I'm almost ready to start the clock on that one too.
