In 15 years I have had 7 positions with 3 different companies (starting 8th with 4th later this month).
I try to stay with the same employer for as long as possible, given that they meet a few basic criteria:
1. I want to be there (duh)
2. New (quality) opportunities are made available when I earn them.
3. Salary/benefit adjustments match the opportunity, not my current paycheque.
When any of those conditions cannot be met, it is time to move on.
This method has worked well for me (8/10) and has resulted in a nice balance between stability, career growth, and earnings.
