Most of my friends are looking to change their jobs, in fact, most people I know want to do that. Maybe I'm the odd one out, I'm actually quite ok with my job.

Pros:
1. Quite relaxed, I get to go off by about 6:30 pm most days.
2. Big office, big work space.
3. Not too much office politics (seeing that there are only 4 of us in the department).
4. I'm learning new things, even if it's in an industry I'm not terribly interested in.
5. I have a close colleague that I can get along well with. Bosses ain't that nit-picky also.
6. I can surf the internet.
7. It's a big company offering a wide range of benefits, as opposed to a local company.
8. Good location.
9. I get to go overseas occasionally.

Cons:
1. Low pay.
2. Boring work.
3. Not much chances of advancement.
4. I don't get to meet/ interact with new people.

So, on the overall, I'm quite contented where I am at the moment. At the very minimum, I will hang in there for at least another year, after which I should be able to get a promotion and a pay rise. That should put me in a better bargaining position while looking for new jobs.
