I think how often you change jobs depends on the challenges and type of work. My first project was over 10 years from start to initial release.
I don't think switching jobs is that necessary if you can be challenged in your current job. Ever changing problems are exactly why I'm staying. I tried switching to do some web work in a couple of places, but found that I really hated it and that most things in the "web stack" are just crud and it's really hard to find really hard or complex problems in the space (Where the complexity isn't in something tangential like ops/configuration/scaling...). I'm an engineering/math type person so it's a bit scarce.
I keep a constant lookout for new jobs, but I filter out 99% of positions simply because it looks like generic web tech jobs.
Thank you
