2 years 1 mo, but that was my first job and they were rare to find where I lived back then. Also wasn't development related in any way. Was long before I realized this is what I want to do. Last would have been a store manager job, 1 year 2 months, got tired of "just getting by" and not feeling challenged in the work at all. Turned in 2 week notice and went to Lambda School full time, 40+ hours a week for 7 months, transition in to the dev world :) And..Currently in a call center tech support job while looking for dev work. Have survived a whole month so far. Pushing to get in to their software dev team but they "have a process" for that.
