    Been working in my current job for about a year and a half. Before that was my first job of just a year (short on professional experience but I have been around the stuff since I was 13). In the last year and a half it has not been the changing of actual companies but changing from: Junior Developer to Senior Developer to Junior Analyst to Senior Analyst. I also did some graphic design inbetween it all when the Design department was pressed for time. Heck I now also get to do a bit of sales work when the potential client is a bunch of techies. Put it this way, my current job is my last job in the computer world. This baby is taking me all the way to the top (and if it doesn't I am never going to touch another computer in my life) :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." - Chretien Malesherbes

      Just wondering, how long have you been in your current job? It looks like (to me) that a lot of developers change their jobs kinda often. I have been working the same place for 1.5 years now, but starts in a new job next month :) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

      4 years and 2 months. Not the same title though. The title gets longer and the responsibilities get heavier. And this poor soul just loves it

          It is not the shiny rocks I cherish most but how my contribution to society and it's poor starving children help..*choke, cough, gurgle* oh sorry, wrong pageant... :-O I'd tell you but then I would have to beat you to death with one of my animal teeth, or the wet end of this here leaf that I was going to use to buy my supper with. :-D and it was my favourite night; bangers and mash with a side helping of mushy peas. It is a small company, we are quite new and right now it is at the "draw what you need to live, the rest we put back into the company" stage. We have lots of shiny rocks but they are all banked in the Shiny Mountain account, not my Lonely Pebble account. I started it with a couple of colleagues and I have two words to say: Stress, phuket.

              Started C++ programming for a company at 17, still in the same company and I am 21. So it's four years... and another 3 years left on the contract with my company. Since 17 I have learned more about programming every day and still do till today. I remained what wanted: C++ programmer. Of course, every year I have more responsibilities and a bigger wage :) I get the feeling that I will be here for a while longer... I like it. If I want to learn something new, I log onto amazon.com and get a list of ISBNs of books related to the subject. I then send them to Angelica upstairs (sales department) and she orders them. When they arrive I read them, try them out and learn. Nice thing is that my company buys the books for me :) Free education! eheh. Jeremy. :-O Hey man! Taliban! Tali me banana!
