Don't worry. This stuff is ultimately judged by the biases of whoever is reading your CV, and people vary a lot. If an employer is particularly worried about employee staying for extended periods, your record will work against you and you won't get that job, all else equal. But, that's not as bad as it sounds. Some employers value people with Math Degrees. Some prefer PHDs. Some don't. Some employers don't like autodidacts. etc. A 1.5 year average employment period is in that category of preferences. Different employers will treat it differently. Same applies to your time as a freelancer. Long term, 1-2 year stints early in your career is not usually seen as indicative of anything later on. It's common. So unless it is not causing you problems now, it probably won't later on. I don't know how it looks when you get to 10X1.5 year jobs though. It would certainly make you an unusual candidate. I've never hired someone with that much experience so never seen these CVs. The real "problem" cases are people with multiple < 1 year jobs. If your last 3 jobs were under one year, most employers will see that as "The last 3 people that hired him regretted it." That doesn't sound like your record though so like I said, don't worry. Also, just building your CV your whole life sounds like a drag. Staying at a job you dislike for years just to change your CV image is like taking a job you don't want or doing a degree you hate for your CV, it's unattractive as a lifestyle. If you like changing jobs, do it.
