Something like six or seven jobs in the past three years, all at the same company. I get moved about every six months to something new that needs fixing. Started as a recruiting assistant and am now a Sr. Business Analyst.

It's had its moments. I've done more than just that list, but none of the rest had a steady paycheck involved.

I'm on my third job since I finished college 3 years ago.

1 year in a job that wasn't really in my field
1 year in a temporary contract position in my field
1 year in my current permanent position in my field

On the same job since college for 7 years. I have many different positions and was only tempted to leave once.
