For various reasons, it's not uncommon these days for people to only stay 2-5 years at each employer. If you think of it that way, then the best purpose that your job can serve ( in addition to paying your bills and maybe giving you exposure to a positive equity event ) is to help you get the next job.

For you to even pose this question, the answer is probably "yes". I'd recommend starting today and working on your resume. Focus on your accomplishments at this job - when you go into the next job interview you'll want to be able to talk about your successes that you're proud of! Good luck!

Yeah, this is pretty much what I was thinking. I've already applied for a few internships for this summer but I don't know. If I don't find anything else I'll stick with this at least until the fall semester. I enjoy this job but it's stuck in the past.

Would be nice to hear from others who have been in a similar place


This response is both sad and true.
