The only correct answer is that you stay until you have an offer worth leaving for. It doesn't really matter that much if it's 6 months or six years. I'm always keeping an eye on the market, but not applying very actively if I'm still growing and have a good internal path.

If you work at a tech company with stock, there's normally a one year cliff on vesting and leaving before then is supicious.
I have a friend that left under a year and gave up what is today worth $10 million of stock.
So if you are leaving a good company under a year, you need to be ready to explain why to the next company.
