Do You Have to Stay at a New Job for at Least a Year?
Back in the day, it used to be the case that once you got your first job out of college, you were virtually required to stick with it for at least a year's time. The same, in fact, applied to your second job, and the one after that. The idea behind the one-year rule was that jumping ship too early would be regarded by prospective employers as a sign of flakiness or an inability to commit, and so you had to stay at any given job you took for a minimum of one year, no matter what.
These days, however, job-hopping is a far more common practice, so much so that employers have come to expect it. In fact, younger workers are especially apt to have limited job stays -- 70% leave their roles within two years.
