This is a good question as we observe the evolving nature of work! Like most things, there is not a one size fits all, but I am of the opinion that when starting off entry level, it may be useful to experiment with various roles to understand your professional self, strengths and interests better, as well as grow your portfolio. Thereafter, I find it useful to settle into a role where you get the chance to experience different cycles of the organisation's growth in particular if you plan to grow into leadership roles or start your own business because whatever one may learn in theory vs how it all happens in practice can vary. All in all, with how fast tehcnology is contributing to our ability to do work and do it ubiquitously, we are now shifting from work as being in a place for a given time of hours to outcomes and projects leading to the precedence of the gig economy where work is based on enabling certain results within a given timeframe, with compensation for project work, before one moves on to new gigs. Also, it means more can be done faster making a work cycle of 2 years equivalent to what may have needed 5 years before. For someone ages 25-34 for example, the approx. average tenure at an organisation is less than 3 years and slightly less than 5 years for ages 35-44 - the decline being indicative on the shifts taking place!
