| Mar 1, 2021 at 19:42 | comment | added | seventyeightist | @JoshViggiani I want to be near family during these times, and I will want to be near my girlfriend next year. Is it already a done deal that she is going to New York with them? Another option, that you didn't mention but I am just mentioning for completeness, is that she resigns (?) and finds another family to work for (either for the year, or ongoing)? (If you are at a point where you make decisions together as a couple like that.) From her perspective "my old family moved to NYC" must be a valid reason for leaving if asked. | |

| Mar 1, 2021 at 18:46 | comment | added | Fattie | I feel it's strange to describe this as job-hopping, remember this is in software engineering. Essentially, one year is the "normal job length". Particularly for newer programmers. | |
| Mar 1, 2021 at 18:21 | comment | added | Josh Viggiani | Thanks, that's good to hear. To clarify, my current company isn't in travel, it's in semiconductors, which are doing incredibly well. I was unfortunately forced to leave my last company due to market circumstances affected by corona, and I would leave this company due to social circumstances, since I am unable to see family and girlfriend. That may sound a little weak, but my dad previously had corona and was in a serious condition. He is fine now, but I want to be near family during these times, and I will want to be near my girlfriend next year. Hopefully that's reasonable | |
