\r\n \r\n For the people out there that have jobs related to the computer, how often do you switch companies or hunt for new opportunities? Some say that is the easiest way to move up and try new things unless you get really lucky at a company with a lot of opportunities and different projects to try, but I\'m curious as to your views? I\'m 23 years old and I have been at the same company for 3 years now. I\'ve moved up enough to be in charge of a team of programmers / admins, which is cool, but sometimes I wonder if I\'m holding myself back by not exploring more options available to me. Prior to the company I am at now, I worked at a different company for 3 years (ever since I was 17 still in High School).\r\n

\r\n \r\n I\'ve never worked full-time, only on contracts. Mind you, some of them were on the clients\' site 9 to 5 for several months, so I felt like an employee.

\r\nNothing beats contractual work. \r\n

Question Job Stability

For the people out there that have jobs related to the computer, how often do you switch companies or hunt for new opportunities? Some say that is the easiest way to move up and try new things unless you get really lucky at a company with a lot of opportunities and different projects to try, but I'm curious as to your views? I'm 23 years old and I have been at the same company for 3 years now. I've moved up enough to be in charge of a team of programmers / admins, which is cool, but sometimes I wonder if I'm holding myself back by not exploring more options available to me. Prior to the company I am at now, I worked at a different company for 3 years (ever since I was 17 still in High School).
