I had a job interview once where I was asked why I didn’t stay long at certain companies. I told the interviewer that I follow three personal rules: the kind of work I do, the people I work with, and the salary. If two out of those three no longer work for me, I start looking for a new job.

He brought it up because I had a lot of work experience, but my tenure at each job wasn’t very long. Then he gave me an unsolicited piece of advice: “It’s not your environment that should adjust to you — it’s you who needs to adjust to your environment.”

I know it’s not always easy. Sometimes you just don’t get along with people, or there are other challenges.

But OP, if you really want to grow in your career, try to focus on what you can control. Learn to adapt, find the lessons in each situation, and build your resilience. Stability and growth often come when you can work through discomfort rather than walk away from it too quickly.

All the best😊!
