2 yrs. But even 1 yr is fine if you are having at least one long tenure. It depends on the overall pattern. Once I saw a resume where a guy having 6 yrs experience had worked in 5 companies, all his experience was of below 2 yrs duration, some even less than a year. Surly that gives a very very bad impression. I mean in any big company, you can’t learn much in 1 year, so jumping that soon means you have zero learning and only interview cracking skill, makes a very bad impression

It has been the worst experience of my life in all honesty.
