In my experience someone job hopping every 6 months isn't usually doing so because they've found a better role or better compensation. That's usually, but not always, a result of under performance. Most companies are reluctant to fire someone within the first 6 months and it can take that long to gather the evidence necessary to avoid a wrongful termination suit. To me it's less a sign of ambition and more a sign of someone who interviews well but doesn't work well. In this market there are always companies who will hire someone who job hops, but that doesn't make it a good idea.
