job-hopping
Frequent employer changes
Job-hopping is the practice of changing jobs frequently, typically staying at each position for only a year or two before moving on.
Once viewed negatively by employers as a sign of disloyalty or restlessness, it has become more accepted, especially among younger workers seeking better pay or advancement: Job-hopping got me three promotions in five years.
