How long does it take to feel settled at a company? I've been with mine for about a couple of years and still feel like there's so much to learn.

That's an interesting question. I've been onboard for less than three years, and I feel like I belong. But I also learn things all the time. There's always just a lot of tribal knowledge to pick up. It's just a matter of listening to people who have been around and sometimes asking some relevant questions.

I was once with a company for 10 years and they made me feel like family. After years of hard work and dedication, next thing you know they will hand you over the 2 checks.

I guess depends on the culture you land in. If you are in an inclusive and collaborative culture it will be much faster than any other org
