If you count my previous (1996-7) employment in a different function, department, profit centre and indeed company within the same group, then I have spent more time being paid by Deutsche Bank than anywhere else. Even not counting the earlier time I'm only seven or eight months away from the all-time record (5 years).

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that, although the rate at which they're pumping money into my pension plan is comforting. My feet seem to be - for me - unusually non-itchy. I think a factor may be the group in which I've been working since 2006: fairly stable, diverse (I'm the only native-born English member) and overall the smartest with which I've ever been directly associated. I don't think it's a coincidence that it's a proft centre, rather than corporate (or "enterprise" - pah) IT, a function I 'm grown to loathe over the years.

The money ain't bad either.
