I dunno, I was at the same firm for seven years after I started working in 2007. My new company said one of the best things they liked was my respect for loyalty, which was rare these days. That's kind of just the way my career panned out, but they made mention it was a quality you don't see these days - and a very positive one at that.
If I were an HR Manager, I'd be wary if I saw someone going through 5 companies in 11 years. Why would I put someone at the top of the candidate list who, historically, will only stay two years and then take off?
Not saying you're wrong at all hulkrogan, everyone's career is different... but staying with the same company for a decent period of time does have it's benefits, especially if they offer growth and development opportunities. I understand people like to bounce around in their careers though in order to climb the compensation ladder... but that can also be a double-edged sword.
