[ Defining Moves ]

My first role after university lasted almost 5 years in Calgary.  Next, 6 years at the company that recruited me to Brisbane, though it changed names several times.  At the 10-year mark I had a mid-career-crisis and changed 3 times in 4 years.  Then two good stints of 3 and 5 years, both ending via redundancies. After that, going solo made sense.

They say Generation X was the first generation to not feel company loyalty.  My parents were surprised when I left my first job so quickly.

It’s hard to know what a successful career trajectory should really look like.
