What is the minimum time to spend in one job?

What%26#039;s the minimum time someone should spend at one job? I%26#039;ve been offered a better job, but I%26#039;ve only been at my current job for 1 year. I spent 7 years with my previous job before that. Is this 1 year job going to look really bad? All my jobs have been in the same career field.|||There is no set %26quot;time limit%26quot;, unless you have a contract that provides for a specific period during which your services are required. For most people, they are either union members (and work under a contract) or non-union (%26quot;at will%26quot;) employees.





In either case, an employee can leave his/her employer at any time with or without notice. %26quot;Job hopping%26quot; was frowned upon in years past, but today it is a fact of life.





As long as the job is an upgrade (responsibility, compensation, perks, etc.), go for it, and expand your personal and professional skills.|||Well, if you are 2 to 5 years that%26#039;s the best, but if you spend 1 year at every job it%26#039;s gonna look like you are a job jumper and that;s bad. Try to stay at the same job till you either get fired or you get tired of that job. Don%26#039;t change jobs every year it will totally look bad.
