I just updated my CV last month. Disclaimer: because I got a promotion, not because I’m looking for a job — lots of my coworkers and my boss read my articles, so I felt the need to add this detail :-)
I’ve worked in tech and the legal profession for more than 35 years at this point, at a total of eleven jobs at companies ranging from 50 employees to hundreds of thousands. Only three of the ten jobs I have left asked me to do an exit interview, and one of them was because I *demanded* an exit interview to tell them how very screwed up their company was.
