The times of working for one employer for the bulk of your existence are long long gone.

Our relationship with work has slowly evolved over time. Millennials – of us extinct between 27 and 42 years inclined – were the first know-how to normalize staying at one employer for a shorter timeframe.

About 33% spent two years or less of their jobs over the equivalent length.
