Should I stay in the same job forever?
There’s a fine line between establishing tenure at a company to show that you’re not a job hopper and staying so long that employers are hesitant to hire you. Good tenure with no more than two jobs in five years unless progressive growth in the same company.
Which is correct I am working with this company for 3 years?
“I have been working with this company for three years.” is the correct version. The present continuous refers to the present moment – so you can say “I am working with this company.” BUT once you add the information about the past (“for three years”) you have a “tense-collision”.
