> Did you regret staying at a job for too long?

No, I stayed with one employer for almost a decade, until the product was "done."

I was able to get into more interesting technical challenges, and had a lot more satisfaction, as a result. There was no way I could get to the deeper (and more satisfying) points if I hopped out after 2-3 years.

THAT BEING SAID: No job is perfect, and I had quite a few frustrating moments. If I had changed jobs, would I have liked the new job more? There's no way to know! I can only state that I've taken two very horrible jobs, and left quickly. I wouldn't want to take the "this is awesome, but can I do better" risk when I already have a good thing going.
