If you're used to performing a contract role, then the prospect of being at the same company for a whole 18 months may feel like eternity. for those of us more used to permanent jobs, keep moving to a different employer is a little un-nerving. Many kiwi's seem to move to other jobs because they don't want to put up with the grief in their existing role - which in a sense is good. Why keep bashing your head against the same brick wall, and being an entirely unhappy person, if there is a nice padded wall down the road where you'll be a lot happier? We came to NZ with the view that the first job, at a low salary, got us in the country and I could always find something else if the $$ didn't improve. No extra $$, definately other walls I could be paid to bash my head against. So I moved. Perhaps it's time for a change again! The whole revolving door approach to jobs is a bit of a mind set thing.
