Last company I was at in France, the average stay was 6-7 years.

It's a decent company, nothing particularly great or notable.

The numbers are similar for other regional companies from what I've heard of. It's higher for a few big old companies (usually in embedded, defence or aerospace).

We can assume that the stays are way shorter in SV/NY/London but please keep in mind that they are not representative of the rest of the world.
