Yeah, watch out there, though. After a certain number of job changes, "too many job changes" becomes a red flag to future potential employers.

Months is a problem. Two or three year stints with obvious level progression is great.

// Hiring :-)

Usually that's limited to very short stints. Employers nowadays are acutely aware of the "2 year rule" (It might be my background in finance, though)
In my experience it's either one of the following: a) spend (at least) 15-20 years at X company and hope to ride some waves, get lucky, to rise to the top/executive level but most likely get stuck in middle management with crappy comp b) switch every 2/3 years, probably not rise as high, but keep up with market wages and have a more diverse experience
