How long should you stay at a job you hate...
...so that it doesn't look like you are jumping around from job to job? I graduated college two years ago. Worked at a place for 9 months, but then moved to Boston for DH to go to grad school. I've been at the place I am now for almost one year (10 months). I want to leave, but I don't want it to look like I keep jumping around from job to job, when I would still be at my last job if I didn't have to move. Any advice? Hope this makes sense.
Thanks!

Re: How long should you stay at a job you hate...
You also do not want it to appear that you get the nine month itch to leave your job.
But your first change was because you moved, so I would not really count that. I think that if you are seeing a significant change in your job titles, advancing in job duties, etc that there is no issue with it.
This. I am not liking my job at all. I have been here since January. I'm hoping that something else will open up as I really like the company. I'm giving it a good year and then will start looking.
I think it depends on where you are in your career. I hired someone who's 25 and he's had 2 positions already. I was concerned but I thought that he was young enough to do that. He's been on my team now for over a year.
I've been working for 11 years and I had about 4 positions (not counting a year off from grad school and 11 months out of work because of layoffer). I was at job 1 for 2.5 years, job 2 for 11 months, job 3 for 2.5 years and my current job for 1.5 years. I freelanced for a few months and went to grad school for 1 year. I personally think I'm jumping from job to job at this point. However, I have a ton of great experience so people will hire me. The downside is I'm kinda stuck with where I'm at; I have a team that reports to me but I'm not in a top management position because of my job change.
I think if you're 5 years out of undergrad, I'd be ok with hiring someone with 2 to 3 jobs. However, my advice is to find a great company and stay for about 5 years. Rise up in the ranks and then leave. You'll get a ton of exposure and experience and you'll make yourself more marketable.
