[quote=Anonymous]I'm 10 years out of law school, and have had 6 jobs in that time.  2 of the jobs I stayed at for 3 years each, the last have all been between 1-2 years.  The decisions to leave each job was mine, and each time for different reasons (great opportunity presented, company was bought, etc).  Each time I've either stayed at about the same level or advanced.  All of my former employers would give great references, so I haven't burned bridges.

When I made the last move, my plan was to stay for at least 5 years. However, the company is a horrible fit and I'm pretty miserable, but I've been there less than two years.  I'm dying to leave, but I'm worried I'm going to start looking flighty or unreliable to potential employers.  Should I just suck it up and get to five years?  Or do employers really care? In my last job search, I talked about my previous jobs and reasons for leaving, but no one seemed too concerned that I'd moved around a lot.  My resume is really strong otherwise, but I'm worried moving around too much is going to start trumping that. [/quote]
