Not really, as in this field that is about halfway through your tenure. Market has certainly shifted a lot in 9 months past.
- giantg2 5y ago18 month tenure seems short, even for IT employees. Better off just staffing with contractors if that's truly expected.
- MattGaiser 5y agoDevs seem to last two years, but they make the decision to leave well before that, so you need to get a retention offer in before they start the job search.
- giantg2 5y agoAny data on that?
- MattGaiser 5y agoOnly anecdotal, but that seems to be how long people last. There are no devs that I knew at either of my past two jobs that remain. Virtually all friends report similar experiences.
- giantg2 5y agoMy experience goes the other way. 75%+ have been at my company for 5+ years.
