Because having too many companies on a resume prevents a person from being employable

5 6-month stints in a row is a red flag for me (as a hiring manager).

If you have 3 18-24 month stints (and ideally earned a promotion at any company [rather than only on a company change]), and a couple of shorter ones, it's fine.

People are overly worried about the second case, IMO. If you're at a company that sucks, the very best thing you can do is change companies.

I usually evaluate companies at the 1 year mark. I will switch if there is a better offer. Like 30% or more increase.
