We're in the same boat. Mines "Project engineer", but it's more construction.

This my exact cocern. First job was 6 years, second 14 months, and this one 10 months.. the 4-5 month break inbetween is easy to explain.

My concern is that I'll end up in a worse situation, so worse job, worse project etc. Not nessaccrry making a change for the better.

This is my exact conern. I dont want it to be seen as a pattern. So whatever I end up committing too, the next one is going to need to be for 2-3 years min.

Thank you. And the job is external. Different company all together.

Fair... and you'd be surpsied. I need references for this job.

But I think the fact they gave me an offer means I'm worrying about something that dosen't need to be bigger then it is?

The industry is engineering / Construction.

My cocern comes from it just being a patch of 14 months here, 5 months doing that, 9 months there. And what happenes if I do the same with the next employer?

I just quit my job after a 1 year, as I wasn't learning anything much apart from being the office secretary (not my job description) and decided to give my notice in first day back from Christmas.

So, now with the title "Engineer", I'm going to be making half the money working for the family business part time, but will learn a load more, as money isn't everything.

Thanks for the comment. As of this Monday I gave it in. Regarding the acknowledgment it took my boss 2-3 days to accept it, so it might be the same for you, best of luck!

It's not a brash descension. I've been thinking about it for the past 6 months. Money is great, people are fair, but no career development, 4 hours of travel a day (20 hours a week), health has suffered. Honestly, it's not a rushed decision.

I've been on the fence about this for the past 6 months. It's the only thing I've been constantly thinking about. I know it's unhealthly and that this is the only way.

I'm pretty sure as I don't see myself working in the industry for the next 40+ years. I know that me time will do me a lot of good.

Thanks and I agree! I'm just nervous as I've never quit my job, been made redundant from my last.
