Nope. Was time to move, and I'm not giving up half custody of my daughter by leaving her...and the professional community I was part of is pretty broken and dysfunctional, not to mention a dying aircraft. Almost everyone I know is getting out rather than going back there. I knew a guy who turned down the opportunity to be a commanding officer...a couple of Majors with 12+ years in who got out, etc. A few escaped to Navy Postgraduate School for a few years and then managed to change their MOS. It's been 10 years full of neat experiences, but an easy decision to resign.

I might do the Reserves.

23 months

9/24/2014 11:38:43 PM

still hustlin, ya heard

9/24/2014 11:39:38 PM

Something like 3 months, but it was temporary employment. Still, one of the nicest and best paying gigs I've had since I graduated 9 years ago.

9/24/2014 11:41:23 PM

Still at it 9.5 years later. Same company multiple positions

1 year and 5 months. Leaving was the best decision I've ever made. Went to grad school and a year later got a job at about 2.5 times the salary of my original job.

9/25/2014 8:03:56 AM

6 years and still going

9/25/2014 8:04:46 AM

6yrs-8mos, still here. My salary has increased by 79% since starting.... only it was fairly low to begin with

9/25/2014 8:05:08 AM

yeah, mine has more than doubled since I got hired, but I started as a GS-07 (37k/yr)

9/25/2014 8:06:06 AM

3 years while in college + 3 more years post-college

9/25/2014 8:20:55 AM

~1 year

9/25/2014 8:25:26 AM

Post grad school, ~ 2 years.

Then they took muh jerb, which at the time was a huge
But I found a transfer pretty quickly and easily, and ended up in a much better situation all around . Been here for ~4 years.

9/25/2014 8:28:15 AM

I had a couple of temp jobs for the first year after graduating with my MS. Was trying to find something related to meteorology in the Raleigh area, but jobs are very limited in a specialized field such as that. My first salary job last roughly 2.5 years until I got sick of being in the Central Plains

9/25/2014 8:37:04 AM

I'm younger than most (all?) here...I'm still in my first job. Going on a year now. After ~9 months they relocated me to GA. And I'll be here another 3 months minimum. But after that I wanna get back to NC...which will most likely involve taking a new job.

9/25/2014 8:51:53 AM

1 school year. worked at a high school in JoCo... great place to work but the drive (hour each way) was killing me.

9/25/2014 8:53:35 AM

7+ years and counting. That is including about 7 months of internship before graduation.

9/25/2014 9:01:13 AM

Till I retired

Still here. It will be 7.5 years in December. Still the most awesome job ever and I love it.

9/25/2014 10:25:36 AM

I may try to make my way to your company Wraith.

9/25/2014 10:33:37 AM

Hello friend, Breadly

9/25/2014 10:41:48 AM

Hello, friend EMCE

9/25/2014 10:49:30 AM

I got a shitty job immediately out of college. I told them I was interviewing for a job I actually wanted, but they just needed someone to help with a contract they had so I worked there for like 8 days (lol) and then started at another company. Then on my second day there they were acquired by larger company, my department was redundant and I basically got laid off 2 months later, but this job ended up sucking anyways so that was cool. Being laid off was the shit. Best 3 months of my life.

9/25/2014 11:27:05 AM

2.5 years.

1 year, 3 months in first position.

1 year, 3 months in promotion position; same job really, just covering more interesting subject matter with softer deadlines.

9/25/2014 11:58:47 AM

3 years. Left to stay home and raise my kids.

9/25/2014 12:01:11 PM

Post undergrad? 3 months (summer job).
Post law school? 3 years and counting.

9/25/2014 12:11:40 PM

if job = employer, than it's been 12 years since graduation.

if we talking actual role, then i've moved around several times within the company after graduating.

9/25/2014 12:42:20 PM

People keep the same job for more than 2 years?

9/25/2014 1:06:11 PM

8 years

sometimes sometimes

9/25/2014 1:23:18 PM

Around here, new hires lately seem to last about 2 years, which is exactly how long it takes to be fully vested in all retirement packages

9/25/2014 1:25:16 PM

8 years.

9/25/2014 3:11:35 PM

1 year and 2 weeks. Then I got laid off. Little did I know that it would be the first of several layoffs.

9/25/2014 4:43:36 PM

Still here. ~7.5 years.

9/25/2014 4:48:26 PM

Still here almost 8 years later. Love my job, can't picture doing anything else

9/25/2014 5:37:13 PM

Still there. Almost 4.5 years now.

9/25/2014 5:40:15 PM

over 5.5 years, with no promotion and only 4% raise total from start to current - and I'm one of maybe 15 people in the building with an MS. Which is why I'm going back to school for an MBA. Fuck this place.

9/25/2014 5:40:27 PM

4 years.

9/25/2014 5:43:50 PM

^^ damn. F that.

9/25/2014 5:57:52 PM

^ agreed.

Although I care way more about vacation policy than pay to be honest.

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

9/25/2014 6:02:30 PM

Ha. I don't know if I care *way* more but vacation policy is definitely very important to me. Our schedule and vacation setup is pretty awesome and is definitely one reason I am still here.

9/25/2014 6:08:27 PM

5.5 years here. I've considered leaving a few times, and while it seems like it often sucks, it's not a bad gig. They seem to respect my work and I get $ bumps in reasonable timeframes (every ~1.5-2 years or so).
