I've been with my current company for 10 years, and have no plans of leaving. Every once in a while I wonder what it would be like to switch, or look at other options, but I tend to come up with the following conclusions:

  • I enjoy my current job and the projects I work on
  • I have nothing driving me away
  • I feel my pay is appropriate
  • My company values me
  • I can choose the hours that I work, and don't get forced to work extra.
  • My job is stable, and predictable. A new job would bring on so many unknowns. What if I don't like the company, what if it's not a good fit for me, what if I don't like the coworkers?

And so I really have no reasons to leave :D

That's awesome!! It's great to hear from someone who's been at a job they're happy with for years - it seems rare in the tech field; it's so relieving to hear that it happens :D
