What's the longest you've stayed at one job, working for someone else?
I'm feeling stuck at my current, pushing 4 years. I feel comfortable and can take time off and it's generally easy, but it gets repetitive and I should be making more money.
Is it better to:
1. move on and probably make money
2. stay and accept it and coast and have time to do other things- https://www.zippia.c…imbecile
- 4 years longest. Should’ve left at 3. Coasting is bad unless you’re 55+. Switch jobs and maximize salary until you’re in your 50s********
- the job I just got laid-off from was 4 yearsYakuZoku
- 8 years and going strong.utopian
- 5 yrspango
- Imagine you spoke to your boss. They agreed to pay you more and got you more varied work. Would you be happy to stay?skinny_puppy
- This past May was 28 years.Akagiyama
- 28 fucking years... jesus!pango
- 13 years, after that, I'm going for 10 years in solo-mode next yearOBBTKN
- The 13 years in that company were very good because of the stability we needed to raise our daughters...OBBTKN
- Why this long?! What kind of work?
Was in Advertising for like 8 years but different agencies, crazy that people can stay that long in one place (28 years?!)******** - 21 years...dmay
- 11 years, now part-time. I'd like to be paid more but i've turned down full time job because they always seem like 4x the work for 2x the salary...kingsteven
- any time i consider it, i have flashbacks to studio work and running my own shit, the stress and long hours is not worth it + clients are hell.kingsteven
- 4.5 years. Coincidentally, 5 months before I would've become a vested partner :(bezoar
- Currently 16 years. But I’ve evolved the job position drastically during that time ao it isn’t exactly the same anymore.doublespaced
- 28 21 16 years how do you guys live with yourselves?!
Have you ever considered side jobs?******** - For me I evolved the job scope and standards, so it keeps me and the team future focused. And it’s super stable, pay is great, and flexibility unmatched.doublespaced
- I did side business for awhile to pay for our wedding, and had those clients stick around for years too. Glad that’s over.doublespaced
- That's actually good, but still a long time. But if you're happy...********
- How do I live with myself? Quite good actually! Started as a graphic designer and moved to digital, UI and UX. The pay is nice and is challenging enough.dmay
- I stopped doing side jobs, I have a family and that's what matters now.dmay

- In 28 years, no one has never NOT needed a drink in Las Vegas. Pays the bills. :)Akagiyama
- Just hit 24 years.dbloc
- 11. Could've stayed longer. CEO/Owner/Boss was a cunt, though.maquito
- 3.5 in my new, current.maquito
- 6.5 and the longest so far. Having a stable, creative job that actually pays well is a first. So not busy looking for a new one.Nutter
