Had a final round interview (3 1-on-1s and one panel presentation) with a healthcare marketing company today for a manager position. Was asked about why I’ve left previous jobs every 1.5-2 years and how they could know that I would stay longer this time. I addressed my past and why this new position interested me, but wondering how others have dealt with this question? The way the question was positioned rubbed me the wrong way but I’d decided to just see how far I could get in the process.

I say that if this company is as good as you say it is, then I’ll be staying here for a long time. Puts the onus back on them to prove why their firm is worth staying at for more than 2 years.

Goes both ways. I will keep moving when I find the current firm does not sufficiently show that they value me or make the effort to retain me.

Hi Everyone! I have a background in health research. I received my first offer as a ux researcher 3 (1 step below senior) which is pretty competitive compared to my former field.

I’m extremely grateful but just wanted to see if this was acceptable for the industry. I’m mixed methods and they want to build out their quant side. Should I accept as is?
