I am throwing in the towel and starting to (selectively) look for the next landing spot. My employer is going through a culture change (for the worse) and the "demotivational" messages and actions are starting to ramp up. I have seen this movie before and I am getting pretty frustrated, so it is time to look for the next gig.
I am tempted to reflect on my career as something of a failure, given that I have hopped around like a bunny on crack my entire adult life. Longest I stayed in one spot is 3.5 years, and I have been at 6 shops since 1997. OTOH, I probably know more about insurance companies than anyone except someone who has run several of them, so its not all bad. Maybe I just should have been a consultant and dispensed with the veneer of being a permanent employee.
I am curious, though: am I extremely atypical in the number of my employers, or are others moving frequently as well?
