It's an interesting question but I don't think there can be a definitive answer. I've had posts that I've outgrown in months and other jobs I could have quite happily stayed in for years. In my field varied experience is a bonus so length of service isn't really something prospective employers look for.
But I can see if you take a job and an employer is going to spend time and money on your development then obviously they'll want to see demonstrable loyalty.
I'm fond of my stints back in Calgary but I wouldn't give up my nomadic career for the sacrifice of having to stay put for a while. Not right now anyway.
