Congrats! What do you think about the seemingly more common approach for newer grads to work 2-4 years per job and then move on? I hear MBA grads on average stay in their first job ~18 months. It's around the same length for software engineer jobs: https://deeptalent.com/blog/tenure-length-tech-titans-compared/ https://deeptalent.com/blog/tenure-length-tech-titans-compar.... Where I work now longevity is highly valued, and I think leadership is disconnected with the reality of today's job market.

Not having done that, I can't speak from experience but it really is an individual decision. My first job was 6-1/2 years, the second, 9. I chose to stay because I liked what I was doing and the people I worked with, the work was nationally important (contracts with the intelligence community), I was very well paid compared to peers (according to surveys I read), and the benefits were top-notch. And, to be complete, I really hate interviewing and starting out at the ground floor in new jobs. Keep in mind, this is me. Your mileage may vary.
