Been 3.5 year for me. I hate it. I hate being isolated. I hate going for days without seeing anyone (they're at work and have families after work). I have done many personal projects but they are not as fulfilling for me as team projects done physically together.

That said I left my last job because it didn't provide those things. No teamwork (project so big none was needed)

I left work just over a year ago because it just wasn't going anywhere (and it didn't leave any time to travel), and rarely done team work etc, but after a few months travelling I started to miss work, having people to chat with each day and help out. Now I'm finding it hard to find another employer as good or better as my previous one. I think it's allot about the people you work with, and less so the company.
