If you hop every 2 years, you will soon be unemployable.

This.

Yes, a few well-timed moves is the best way to boost your salary.

No, you can't jump to a new job every 2 years without leaving the impression that you never get anything done and can not be counted on.

Worse, you can give the impression that you are always just one step ahead of being found out for incompetence.

Unless you are a Software Engineer -- Then it may be very beneficial in terms of experience and salary to change jobs every 2 years.

Not any more. 2 year is maximum. If you are not able to move within your company then it is time to move to another. It is up or out. Anyone stagnating is just lazy.

Maybe now but in the 80’s and early 90’s I job hopped in Silicon Valley often for a 10% jump in pay. Actively recruited and chased by many companies, they made it too hard not to jump. Two years was an eternity.
