This was the late 90's, when it was really easy to find something new. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I hit a soft limit after job change #4 - all of a sudden, after having gotten bored and looking for something new, every interviewer started saying, "you've changed jobs four times in four years... why would I want to hire you if you'll be gone in a year?" I've slowed my roll quite a bit since then and made a point of hanging in there for at least three years, usually longer.
