How long do you guys stay at a job before switching? Whether due to pay reasons/lack of interest/etc?

Well, I've been with my current employer about fifteen years.

Current situation: one year

@iAmNaN nice! Like the work I hope? :D

@devTea same. I'm working on holding on until the 1 year point.. after that it's off to the most interesting / highest paying thing I can find.

@RyanTargaryen yes. And the company. 😊

Over 4 years I would like to switch but nobody can offer me such amount of freedom and free time.
I don’t think I will be able to work after/if this contract ends.

@rutee07 oof, I feel that. Current job has a lot of politics and like 0 exposure/growth ops... and the previous dev on one of the contracts I'm assigned to has only ever done DBA work.

I also do some freelance in meantime. Longest project took almost 1 year of my life but I don’t recommend working in two big projects at the same time.

currently 12.5 years and I plan to stay for at least 3 years.. continous growth and possibilities to change have been there for me. and with time I earned a lot of trust what increased my salary and my opportunities to do what I like

As soon as possible. I don't like to loose time.

Current job: creaping on the 5 year mark, but starting to think it's time to find something new.

Previous job: 8 months
Job before that: 3.5 years
And before that: about 1.5-2 years.

Depends on the job and the company. My last job I would have stayed at indefinitely... but I was made redundant. The one before that I saw the signs after a year and was out by the end of the second.

I’d try and stay at lease a year or it looks like your a job hopper and harder to hire (unless you put “contract” next to it on your cv)

I usually give the company 2 years because I find that fair. After that it's fair game and if someone can make a better offer then I go.

@Froot <--- What he said, unless the company is shitty in which case I bail as soon as I have another offer.
