How Often Should I Switch Jobs?
"Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common type of refractive error where close objects appear clearly, but distant objects appear blurry."
--National Eye Institute (NEI)
You're likely to make more than a handful of key job decisions in the long march of a complete career -- some thoughtfully planned, and some due to pleasant serendipity. But we can be prone to myopia as we move from position to position throughout a career, or remain past the shelf-life expiration date of a job we once loved.
Guess who doesn't suffer from nearsightedness when it comes to your career? The recruiter or hiring manager who sees your entire work experience of thousands of days reduced to a series of bullet points on a sheet of paper or a LinkedIn profile. They weren't around for the trees you witnessed up close; they truly only see the forest.
