I manage a team and hire people so I have an incentive to look for people who don’t job hop and have conversations with peers on candidates around this. I find that I can’t bring myself to care too much to evaluate people on if they are “job hoppers”. Every place I’ve worked at that wants to avoid it based on what I am told by my leaders and HR, also doesn’t give raises even keeping up with inflation unless you manage to get promoted. And they usually have a million reasons to not promote someone come yearly reviews. This industry incentivize job hopping and you’re better off treating employees as a stream and figuring out how to manage project estimates and knowledge transfer around that. Obviously doesn’t apply if your company really puts in effort to maintain employees long term, but you’re in an exceptional case if that is true
