this is spot on, it happens all the time around here
my uncle is a career machinist and he has floated from shop to shop his whole life, it is the only way he can garantee he makes the money he needs to make
but my new job is not a job shop, I will be working for Rio Grande out in Albuquerque making casting machines and molds and whatever else they want, with very clear salary terms, huge upward potential, and full benefits going in
they are also owned by Berkshire Hathaway so that helps me feel a little safer as well
I'm not about to float from shop to shop like that, I aim to build a career with tenure
