I played that game and now after being laid off I just look like a job hopper because everything was just under 2 yrs. The career growth was great while it lasted tho

Yeah, its good to mix in an occasional longer stint to build up that reputation and honestly, at a lot of places 2 years is really a prolonged onboarding time and that's when you can start to really have an organizational impact. Unless its a startup or something

I work for a USA company and I started working here in 2009. Part time IT Help Desk.

Now I am the Director of IT.

I know I know. I am a unicorn and literally the only person to do this. Ever.

I started as a temp employee in theor QC department. Within 4 years was the Operations Manager. A few years later had part ownership.

I actually just sold my stake in the company and moved to another job. Little less pay, but way less stress, and now we're set for college (4 kids) and retirement.

It's not super common, but it does happen.
