In my experience, no. In fact it's considered a sign of weakness. I was shocked to discover I was earning more than my boss at a company a few years back. His boss laughed and said "he's been here 10 years". Do you want to be that guy? It's been pretty well proven statistically that 2 years (here in the UK, 1.5 in the US) is the optimal time to spend before either leaving or getting a significant promotion. If you leave more than 6m before that, it's too soon (then it is a red flag), if you stay longer you start to earn less. Those are the stats and you cannot argue with them...
