[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I finished grad school in 2020 and am on job #4. Longest is 1.5 years, a couple under 1 year.

It really hasn’t been brought up.[/quote]

Lol you’re a baby in a baby career. Check back with us in 15 years about how this worked for you.

Anecdotally, this constant jumping was a pretty standard trait for the women I knew who decided to stay at home once they had kids. Finish grad school at age 25, jump to four jobs over six years, have baby at age 32, and lo! It’s time to go back to work, but you have no career capital, you don’t really like working because you haven’t really vested yourself in any positions yet, you aren’t really on a upward path to promotions or career advancement, and you haven’t developed a good skill yet. Meanwhile your spouse, who graduated at the same time as you has put their head down and worked hard, stayed in the same role, developed colleagues and managers who value them, and are starting to get a bit of traction in their overall career trajectory. So when mom is home on Mat leave, she suggests that, honey, I make so little money and have never really found something I love or that values me, so maybe it makes more sense if I stay home. I saw this play out over and over. [/quote]
