That is not bad. Two yr stints could indicate a up and comer. Two yr stints or less moving to the same level job or from career to different career is a red flag.

I have interviewed a ton of young people coming into the industrial workplace. Job movement is very common if that person is improving his station. It is also common in deleterious group cancer starters.

So you stayed at McDonald's 2 years before moving to taco bell?

This is a mindset leftover from a time when one breadwinner working an average job was enough to support a family. Stability was important because basic needs were already met. Today, a 5% annual raise is barely a cost-of-living adjustment. Home and auto loans are averaging 8%+. Staying at a job is leaving money on the table because management is all still stuck in the way things were 20 years ago and consider a $3000 raise to be generous.

With that being said, it's not just about money. Work environment is just as important. If you got a job offer for the same amount of base pay, but twice the PTO and a hybrid work from home policy, would you take it? Remember that you could disappear and your current employer would replace you within a month.

Being a "corp executive" as you've described yourself, you should already know the answer.

At the executive level, you'd need to stay somewhere long enough to oversee the implementation of some number of key corp initiatives. From inception to completion, showing where they generated improved key values / KPR's for the org as a result. Increased market share, share value, acquisitions, improved associate survey results, etc. These types of programs typically take 3-4 years to execute.

But you already know this.
