I like this answer. And I also think as long as you can speak to why you made each move in a positive way you'll be fine. I'm not a recruiter, but I've done hundreds of tech screens when I was at a consulting firm to know the difference when someone's BS'ing through an explanation of a job change.

So I didn't have a set bias for/against people that moved, say, every 6 months, or every 2 years. You just had to have a good explanation.

In the DC/Virginia area, from my experience, most people moved every 6-8 months, or every 2-3 years. Former were more contractor-types, latter were more employee-types. All generally speaking of course. I have both types on my resume, cause I've done both ;-)
