Really? I barely know anyone who works for several years at any place. I'm looking at whether I can tolerate it for six months. That's only so I can take a job search break for a few months before hitting the grind again. I'd love to work at a place that's so great that I'd be there for several years but that's hard to imagine. Most companies I've interviewed with don't exist in 3 years, let alone 'several' (7+).
- greggyb 11y agoThis is a very small niche that you live in. I can tell you that a candidate with 7+ 6 month engagements would be unlikely to get a position at my current company (mid-sized business intelligence consultancy), and simply wouldn't be considered at my last company (old school enterprise environment). The startup scene is not representative of the job market for the majority of people.

The startup I work at has a great proportion of people who have stuck around since the early days; yet I have worked (and interviewed) at large companies where everyone bails within a couple of years max. I don't know what the West Coast "scene" is like, so my company probably doesn't resemble SV startups, but the pay is great, the people are smart and passionate, and the businesses is hitting all of its goals, so I'm not complaining.
