No one smart is expecting critical work from a new grad. If you move once every 1-2 years then you are fine. Once per year will raise flags after 3-4 jobs due to fear that you are being terminated on every job for some reason.

I didn't mean don't do it because of impact on your resume, I meant don't do it prematurely because it slows down your progress.
