In my naivete, I don't know why this is true. What is it about staying at a place for a long time that makes a person less desirable?
I ask in part because I've been at my current employer for 9 years -- should someone in my spot be looking for a new job?
- barry-cotter 13y agoIt depends on your experience and career trajectory. You have a lot of firm specific knowledge, which makes you more valuable to the firm but if you're using an internal stack maybe the only people who value that knowledge are the company you're working for. That's a bad bargaining position. And if you've been at the same company for nine years and have not been negotiating aggressively for raises the whole time there's an excellent chance you're underpaid because job hopping every two years is really the only semi-reliable way to get a 20% raise. Try interviewing and seeing what you get offered.
