It depends a lot on career stage. In early stages people move more. Mid-late it’s 5 or more years. However in very senior roles it’s very mixed. Some only 1-2 (those who are not successful/Peter Principal/ or 4-8 years very successful)

There was an interesting study that came out recently around this, but focused on the different generations. Millenials seem to stay in the workforce for an average of 2.2 - 2.8 years only, compared to other generations.
