What's Your Longest Job Tenure?

[TopEngine]

1st job: 2 months, Korean company, PH
2nd job: 3+ years, Japanese company, PH
3rd job: 4 years, American company, PH
4th job: 4 yrs. + 10 months, American company, SG

Sa lahat niyan parehong industry pero magkakaibang job. Sa lahat niyan meron time na parang nagsasawa na ako sa ginagawa ko kaya naghahanap ako ng panibagong career challenge. Ngayon, parang nararamdaman ko naman yun.

12 years and counting on my current job. lasted 5 years in my first. i guess i just don't like jumping around that much.

Unless maganda talaga yung kumpanya, salary increases become rare and grow less compared to when you initially joined -- not sure why, in my mind "veteran" staff can do more work than newbies na kakapa kapa pa. i guess mas ayaw ng ibang companies na magretain ng matatanda 'coz of "maintenance costs" -- retirement, longevity pay, etc. Usually magugulat ka na lang nga na ganun na pala starting salary ng mga baguhan. i'm lucky na rin considering most people get hired on contractual basis nowadays.

Yung isang college friend ko naman, palipat lipat ng trabaho, he says pag nabobore na siya sa trabaho, lipat na siya. Problem is, wala siya tuloy nakukuhang medical, pension/retirement, etc. Tsaka pangit tignan sa resume.
