In this job market right now, I would stay at the same job. I don't think its a good idea to leave your job during a "recession" in pursue of career growth, but it's a risk. You can leave and gain more experience and career growth, but the downside is mental stress if you can't find a job. Up to you to decide.
In a great economy, I would stay until I have maximizes networking opportunity. Career growth is important, but I would also add that networking is also important. Networking is going to help you get the job. Career growth is nonexistent if you can't find a job to grow from, so remember to just connect with everyone.

A lot of this stress can be mitigated if you secure a job before leaving your current one. Still though I agree there is risk at the new job. Tenured employees are much less likely to be cut than new hires.
I don't have any hard limits on how long to stay at a company. If the work is thrilling enough with the opportunity to grow, that is a place I will commit to.

Spot on, now's not the time to leave (but a great time to look, just in case the worst happens).
I'd stay so long as you can grow in the role, both your network and personally/professionally.
Agreed, make sense in this economy.

The new job is definitely a risk, from recent, personal experience...

Agreed that there's no one right answer; it is case by case
I plan on finding a good fit, staying and growing, similar to what you have done. But hopefully with an apprenticeship first.
