Can confirm! I'd also like to add that the employer is happy to keep you in that position for a decade or more (as long as the client keeps paying) but one job over an extended period of time reads very poorly on a resume. Switching is a disruption necessary for growth.
It's funny because I broke into coding BECAUSE I had a long job on my resume and to the employer looked like I wasn't gong to jump job to job at the drop of a hat.
