The people running companies are mostly "professional managers" who see engineers as a fungible resource. If anything, tenure in the same role is mostly a negative signal. Why haven't you gamed the promotion system yet? Don't you want to grow into management or 'technical leadership' and spend your days in meetings? What is wrong with you?
