"only five years" that's a long time in my opinion to be at one company.

The original CNBC article https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/22/4chan-founder-chris-poole-mo... lacks this editorial spin. Tech people hop around a lot, 5 years is a solid tenure.

Ah ok, we'll change the URL to that from https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/04/4chan-founder-chris-.... Thanks!

Actually we should already have changed it - that's standard practice when one article cribs from another. But I missed it in this case.

And three positions inside the company seems about right as well.

Depends on the company, I work in tech but for an old company, 5 years isn't very long and there isn't much room for any movement.

Meanwhile, I've been at the same company for longer than a couple of my coworkers have been alive (though I've changed jobs twice in that time) so "only five years" sounds comparatively short to me.

My wife has been at her current company (large like freescale, flexctronics, jabil) for 8 solid years , and she is still going strong.

Meanwhile I've been at 4 startups, from seed to Series B . I just get bored so easy.. after 3 or so years I NEED a change. Or maybe is because startups dont care about w/l balance and drain you until you quit.

I've never worked anywhere where people were much use before 2-3 years in harness. Too much domain knowledge maybe.

Ron Amadeo is a talented reporter but his transparent smarminess towards anything Google-related has become exhausting in recent years.

A lot of the time it may be warranted. But just as often, like in this article, it definitely is not.

Sounds like he moved around a bit, so it's not like he was working on just one thing for 5 years.
