@808love: Yep. God willing! Lol!
-
LOL omg NO. I took the first job I was offered after an extended period of unemployment. While I really like my coworkers, I find that after 2 years I definitely know this is not the kind of job I want long-term.
That being said, I work at a university so the benefits and everything are great and I have a short commute, so I'd love to stay here, but ideally would look for something in a different department.
Longer-term DH & I would LOVE to move back to his home country which would me a radical re-thinking of my career!!
-
No. I definitely don't think a forever job is a thing. Business / economy is too unpredictable
-
God, I hope not.
-
Nope, nope, NOPE.
-
Yes. Love it.
-
Yes! I finally get to do my dream job. SAHM!
-
I didn't vote b/c I don't know!
Good possibility that it is; the job itself is stable; it's close to my home, it's flexible...
But the only thing is I don't really like the company and the job itself. It's hard to find something comparable that's so close to home, so that's why even though I dislike my job it can still be my forever job.
-
Nope! I love my current job most days (SAHM) but once the youngest is in school full time, I will return to some kind of work, probably part time. I didn't earn two master's degrees to only use them for a short while, but then again, I didn't love either career path I chose nearly as much as I love my current one
-
I don't believe in forever jobs
-
Oh gosh I hope not! Although I wouldn't mind if this was my forever company.
-
Career, yes. Current position? I can't imagine it. I've been here 6 years though, so who knows!
-
lol the biggest NO
It is extremely common in my field to get a new job every 2-5years. If you aren't looking out for yourself and are cutthroat it an extent it reflects poorly on you.
I love what I do but I know I'll move on in the next 3-5years from this company. -
Pretty much, yep. I mean, I suspect that over time, I'll get at least one more promotion and probably a bit more responsibility and people under me, but in general, yes, this is my forever job.
-
this is a tough one for me. I love my job, but the project I designed and oversee will end in 5 years. There is a chance that my coworker could retire around that time and I could take over her job, but it's probably still a few years early for that. Without that happening, I have no idea what I would do here. And because I work in a very small field, I'm not sure where else I would go.
It is perfect for right now -- as long as I get my work done, no one cases if I am late because of a school event, etc. But there really isn't any opportunity for growth, and my project will end, so I know that I will need to move eventually.
-
Nope. I would like to move back to the east coast and my company doesn't have an east coat branch anymore. I'm not really sure I like my job. It has changed so much. Not sure if change is something I have to deal with or I have to find another opportunity that I want to do. Money is very good, though. I do wonder if I do leave, will I regret it? As for my career, yeah, I like it. I'm happy with it. I think I just need to find a job closer to home and doing something I like. Especially now since we have our babies now, I really have no reason to stay (besides the pay.) I do need a change of pace, too.
-
Not at all! I'm in the midst of a pretty radical career change
-
Career field-yes, company-maybe, job-no. I enjoy practicing law, and would like to do it until I retire. I'm a federal govt attorney, so the benefits are excellent, pay is much lower than my counterparts in private practice, but my agency promotes lawyers to 6 figures fairly quickly. I didn't go to school for the money, so I make more than enough. However, my current job is so boring. I miss being in court! ⚖
-
Not sure. I like my job - it's not my passion which I think is a good thing for me. If I was passionate about it I may have a harder time leaving work at work. It's a great company, happy with the pay and flexibility. But if we move out of the area I am not sure if they will approve for me to work from home.
-
Probably not. I'm still in my first job post graduate school. I've been here from dating to married with two kids. I've ridden out some bad times to some changes. I have flexibility right now. If I could find something just as flexible, I'll jump ship. For now, I can manage home and work life decently.
-
Not sure - but I don't see a change for a long time if it does happen - My DH works long hours/travels and this job gives me tons of flexibility which I need with 2 kids!
