Anyways, like other people have mentioned timing can be very useful. In trying to leave I was offered raises and from one guy a chance to take on whatever role I wanted to. Still leaving though.

Is there any particular reason you picked 3 years as your lower bound? I haven't been as fortunate as most in that I graduated and got a job as a Java dev but the pay isn't at all appealing. I'm planning on jumping ship after a year in order to get a modest salary boost (we already discussed raises with my boss and I will be getting a pittance at the end of this year).
I'd say early in your career 1 year is fine but no more than 3. In fact, I think moving is essential to learning as I have met many people who had 10 years of experience but since they stayed with the same company, they really just had 10 x 1 year of experience. As you grow in seniority, frequent jumps start hurting you.

I'm looking for a contractor who knows rules based linear integer programming systems like Gurobi or CPLEX (or open source variants). Can you shoot me an email with recommendations? It's in my profile.
Sorry to say the only constraints based programmers I know are all PhDs in Operations Research and they run Target's logistics.
