Today is my 25th anniversary at my job. I previously worked at the same job for 9 years but then was home for 3 years before returning in 1997.
Just curious…not keeping any spreadsheets!!

I've been teaching with the same public school board since 1997 ... I was on a medical leave of absence for about ten years right in the middle so I have only been back in the classroom for four years now ...

You asked 2 different questions. I have been at my job for just over a year. The longest time I have been at one job is just under 17 years.

When you say "at a job" do you mean doing a particular job but perhaps at different locations (example: a person is a teacher, but might be on different campus locations or even at different school districts. ---a person might be an accountant for years but work for different companies during that time.)

I previously taught for 14 years in one school system straight out of college. I stayed home for about 10 years after having my daughter.
I’ve been at my current job for about 6 years - part time for several years and started full time maybe 3 years ago.

20 years (this year) at the same company and same job…purposely. 😁 14 years at my previous company (same department) but at different levels/management positions.

the longest I've been at one company is about 12 years, and that was my very first corporate employer... the company spun off one of its divisions to become a separate entity, so we became a different company whether we wanted to or not. After that experience, I didn't feel the same 'company loyalty' I had felt previously. So we decided to move across the country. Since that point, the longest I've been at one company was about 7 years or so.
The older I get, the less patience I have for employers who can't get their sh*t together, maybe?? lol. The closer I get to retirement, the less I feel like I want to put up with crap just for a good paycheck and decent health benefits...

I've been here 25 years. It wasn't the plan but that's the way it worked out. It was what I needed while raising my daughter, and now I'm too close to the date when I get my retirement benefits to leave. And the benefits are too good to leave. I should look for another position within but I'm too tired/not interested enough to care.

Next month is 24 years. I started fresh out of college.
In the same time frame, DH has been in at least 8 jobs. Most of the job changes have included a title jump. He's worked his way up to a VP position and makes almost twice what I make with less schooling.
In today's climate, you can definitely get ahead faster my changing jobs than you can staying put. I'm happy where I am. I've got flexibility. They let me work from home for 6 years when one of DH's job moves took us out of the area. It's a family owned company and taking time for family needs has always been accommodated. I don't regret staying at all.

The longest I've been doing a single job is about 5 years. Longest with one entity is about 15.

I checked the 20-29 box but it doesn’t exactly answer the question. I’ve been self employed pretty much continuously since 1996, but my business has pivoted multiple times in that span of years including a huge pivot in 2020 when I went in a totally different direction after only working it barely part time in the 4-5 years prior to that.
I’ve also been DH’s part time bookkeeper/office manager for several business entities since 2001, but again the individual entities have shifted and changed over the years while the job itself has stayed mostly the same.
Before this, I never stayed in a single position for more than two years.

7 1/2 years, could have been longer if they hadn’t closed.

I've had 3 jobs since graduating college. The first was 2 years. The second was 10 years. I've been at my current job for 22 years.

When I was in lending, I worked for the same bank for 14 years. Had six different roles in that time. Since I moved to tech, two years, two years, not quite a year at my current role and I'm currently being recruited by another company and likely will be leaving my current company within a month.
I don't think I'll ever stay at a company more than five years again. I enjoy the change and I have realized I love startups and am very valuable to companies starting to scale but that phase doesn't last forever. And on a very practical level, big raises are much harder to come via promotions in the same company vs being new to a company.

This is my 25th year of teaching. I have always been in my current district in some capacity, but 4 of those years were subbing (long term subbing for three of them--a lot of weirdness and budget cuts early on during the Minnesota Ventura/conservative years).
I answered 20-25, but officially I am on year 19 of continuous/renewed contract.

I started my job when DD was 6 months old, took 7 years off for when I had DS, came back to the office, and had been there since. Different bosses but same place. DD was born in 1971 and I retired 2019.

I voted 3-4 years. Because we moved frequently due to DH's career, I was never able to stay anywhere longer than 3 years. When DD started high school, I finally threw in the towel and retired from working. That was 20 years ago. It was a good decision because there were 3 more transfers in a 10 year period.

Doing the same job for over 20 years, but five years is the longest I’ve been at one facility. The hazards of being a military wife 😉.

24 years. I look back now and I amazed at all the changes in my job over the years...
Not a lot of opportunities in my small town so once I landed at the largest/best paying employer in the area I stayed. I have learned so much and moved up in rank through the years and have had good times and bad, but I will likely retire here unless some amazing opportunity arises.
