Ask HN: How do you decide when to move jobs?

I can't decide if I should leave my current job or not. Every couple of weeks I go back and forth trying to come up with what to do. Thing is, I quite like my job and the people there are friendly, the work is straightforward and generally ok. If I had to list pro's and con's here's what they'd be:

Pros:

Friendly, small team

Starting to get more responsibility & control over my project

Easy & low stress

Cons:

I've been here 6 months and already stopped learning new things at work (no foreseeable change either)

Much lower than average compensation ($95k for 10 years experience, zero equity, bad healthcare & low vacation days)

Ease of job makes me worry about losing my edge

----

The job is based in San Francisco at a "startup" with about 40 staff members and high profits.

So HN, how would you decide?

PS. Sorry about throwaway, I know quite a few people on HN with my main account...
