Hi,
Both Pros and cons are there and it all depends on your Industry
Primarily changing jobs frequently can lead to a loss of seniority and benefits. An experienced Recruiter/ Technical Manager would not consider a candidate with a history of multiple short-term jobs for their open positions. However you may gain higher salary, Diverse work environment experience etc.
If there is good demand for your experience and skill set you possess age will not be a constraint for the salary.
So before you make a move apply your mind, list the pros and cons and take a call.

Dear member,
You have changed 10 companies in the last 15 years. That means your average stay per company was 1.5 years. It is much less by any reckoning. A lesser tenure is ok for the lower level but certainly not for the higher level. Though you have not mentioned your current designation, let me believe that you are a manager. If you are not a manager, then your first task is to get a managerial-level position.
Your question is whether companies pay less to job candidates who change their job frequently. Well, the companies while hiring are cautious and look for someone with a stable career. Instead of hiring by paying less, they don't hire job hoppers. By looking at the CV of a job hopper, a suspicion may creep into the mind of an average hiring manager whether the job change was in normal circumstances or it was termination camouflaged as normal separation.
You also have asked a question about whether to move to a new company or stick to the current one to elongate your tenure. It is difficult to give a reply as we do not know the norms of your industry and neither do we know your designation. However, a rule of thumb is to grow financially and intellectually. Preferably, there should not be an imbalance. The second factor is to check whether you are learning anything from your HOD. If your HOD is knowledgeable and has no qualms in sharing his/her knowledge, then you should continue in spite of better opportunities outside. Staying in the current company may deprive you financially to a certain extent but it is the cost of acquiring knowledge. This very knowledge could become a springboard to propel your career.
Have you made a career plan? Have you done a SWOT Analysis of your career? Have you taken feedback on your weaknesses?
Lastly, feedback about your post. Members of this forum would expect a better post from a person with 15 years of experience. Your post does not justify your experience. Neither there is a proper introduction nor transitory sentences. Additionally, there are a few grammatical mistakes also. You would know best the reasons for this casualness. The earlier you shed this casualness, the better for your career!
