That's a myth being told by those who have a clue and know that they have a competitive advantage by changing jobs whenever it works better for them. Yes, also in Germany. I would even say especially in Germany, precisely because this myth is more prevalent. That hiring manager who quizes you about why you have been moving so much is exactly the clueless who has stayed at their job for decades and can't stand others who had more fun and became more successful faster. Smile, you're going to be their boss very soon :)
