"I am proud of having worked for the company for two years."

ex) "I am proud of having worked for the company for two years."

1) I am proud that I have worked for the company for two years.

2) I am proud that I had worked for the company for two years.

I think that 1) and 2) can be the example sentence and we should figure it out in context. Do you agree with this?

Thank you a million as usual.

" OK 1) I am proud that I have worked for the company for two years. OK 2) I am proud that I had worked for the company for two years. The Past Perfect does not fit well here.

Thank you and what I meant is which one, #1 or #2 do you think is the same as the example sentence.

First, which one do you think is the same?

I thought both of #1 and #2 can be possible but now I think only #1 is the same with the example. What do you think? Thank you so much as usual for your help and time.

Hi,
Here is my take:
Hans51"I am proud of having worked for the company for two years."
Semantically, this one seems ambiguous due to the "progressive perfect" construction. " I am proud" could be applied to one's past or present experience. Structurally, it seems correct, however
