Grammar
"for six years" and "until" in the same sentence
My friend, John, wants to refer my other friend to a job in his company. John wants to know something about him. This is one of the things I will tell him.
(ex) Joe worked as an accountant for six years until two years ago.
Is it grammatically correct to put "for six years" and "until" together when you make a time reference?
Please help me. Thanks a lot.

ansonguy for six years until two years ago. This is really too awkward. It's much better to be direct and give the years.
