How long in one place?

Looking back at my CV I see that the longest I have ever worked at one company was 7 years and 2 months. Most places it is around 18 months - which I understand is the industry average right now. I wonder which of you has the longest time at one job?

I've been at the current job for four and half years. This is the longest stint I've had anywhere.

Two 7+ years and the rest have been 1 or two years. I think if you break through two years, you will often stay for the long run.

8 months. (Disclaimer: This is my first "real" job. I graduated from college last May.) I think my Dad (Mike, for those in The Lounge that know him) has been at the same place for close to 30 years (I think it might be 28). Roughly the first half of that was in a mechanical engineering capacity and not a software capacity. I don't remember the exact year he started as it was several years before I was born... :laugh:

You are right; when I look back I have done a 7+, a 6+, a 5+ and a 3+ (only cut short because of union pressure to stop using contractors). All others have been less than 2 years.

5 years, at my first employer. Averages out at 2.4 years per employer. Always enjoy the question "why did you have that many jobs" during an interview; as if a developer would work 40 years for the same employer :-D
