My personal advice to anyone is to move from a company before you are there for 10 years. It does not matter how well you are doing, how good you are rated, it is both a career killer and a personal investment that will make it a lot harder to leave when you should have left a long time ago.

I am not talking about job hopping, not at all, but after 20 years in a company it becomes a sort of a marriage and this is not healthy for you, even if it is great for the company. Your marriage is for life, your employer is not.

Another moment to leave is when you did not learn anything new in the past 6 months. In IT, this is not good.
