Last rumor I heard was anything over 5 years was a bad thing. If you took 10 years to get your bachelors degree and got a 3.0 but then got your masters in a record time and a gpa of 3.8 then they don't seem to care about the bachelors degree. I actually know a very well qualified candidate and even rubs shoulders with the hiring team. He was told point blank, the reason we can't call you for an interview is because you took too long to get your masters degree.

I doubt you will find anyone that has gotten the interview as of recent that took over 5 years to get their degree. Unless they have something else like a masters degree.
