It seems like the days of people working 20-30 (40?) years with a single company are long gone. What's the longest amount of time you've spent with one company?
Me = 3 years

1.5 years, but I am fairly confident I will be staying at my current place for quite some time.

inanity makes my head hurt
The longest job I've had was a 4 year long stint at McDonalds... at my current gig (and first professional' one) I've been at for 3.5 years now and likely leaving not long after I hit 4 years after my tuition reimbursement indentured service ends in 151 days.

4 yrs, 9months. Though only because I was promoted to management. I felt, in the end, I overstayed because it was comfortable.

7.5 years at my current job. Can't stand the culture, it's in a bank, but the benefits are pretty good, and I've had some good business trips

Now with more program management
almost 4 years at my family's company. i expect to be here at MS for much longer than that. but 20, 30, 40 years? not sure about that.
-
My longest time at one company is here with Microsoft - 12 years.
I worked five years for the company before that, but I really should have left much earlier - like two years earlier, or at least one year.
One of the hardest things to get right is the right time to move on - when to leave your current team and/or company for something else. -

What do you see?
this will be my sixth year
I promised I would move after 5 just to keep things interesting, though I have my teeth in some real hardcore projects at the mo that will ad a lot of cred to my ever growing CV so im giving myself an extra 12 months before I look at emigrating to Australia
