How many times over the course of your career have you changed jobs?

I'm curious how often people are changing jobs in RE and if it really yields substantial benefit? It seems like a lot of users on here are able to target a specific area and can probably make it there with just 2 to 3 moves over the course of maybe 5 to 6 years, and then stick it out for better long-term incentives. I could be completely wrong on this, but want to hear what others have experienced.
