I've been at my current company for 4 years, however I'm on my 3rd completely different position and in my current one I've grown into a different role than when I started it. My salary is over 150% than when I started

It's not about time in company as long as you're constantly growing and expanding your knowledge

jghn, that's a really good point! It's awesome that you've had the opportunity to keep evolving your role at your company.

I'll admit it's not something open to everyone in every situation. Otoh I've made some of my own luck as they say, so it is a bit of both sides.

One thing I'm not sure about is when I do eventually move on how to represent it on a resume as some places would value the longevity and some will be the opposite. If I had to do it now i think I'd do a hybrid, one block making it clear that there were multiple things in there, particularly highlighting the upward mobility. But there's no sure thing with resumes, no matter what you do someone will sing it
