I tend to get itchy feet after a year, definitely after 15 months. I'm currently 18 months in on my current gig, extension on its way for another three months and the PM has forecast me into their plans for Q1 next year.
Like you, the work isn't challenging, the team is good (90% contractors), the rate is good.
BUT! I do have to look the gift horse in the mouth as I know I'm stagnating. There are days where I just about drag myself out of bed in time for the first meeting.
I have always said that if the prospect of the job makes you want to take a duvet day, every day, then it's time to move on.
I will see the year out, and have told the PM that I may not stick around for all of Q1 as I'll be looking for the next gig then.
