Works out to be roughly 8.5 years in that regards for the last man on the list. If it works out better than that, great. But don’t get your hopes up as a new hire.

The sad thing is that even with this highly over conservative calculation. That is still much LONGER than the recruiting or company 4-5 year BS.
