5.5 is a pretty decent time in the company. Good job!
I don’t think there are any rules or time frames. I consider job hopping is quitting and running somewhere else every time something goes less than perfect or every time they mess up. Instead of trying to improve, they run. 99.99% of the time people would encounter exact same issue in every job.
Simply changing job for promotion, relocation, better pay etc isn’t job hopping imho. No rules that you must stick around.
My daughter changed quite few jobs in the past few years as she was determined to find correct combination of tasks she’d be responsible for/compensation/room for growth. Not all could be obvious until you start working.
Although it did look like too much jumping around to the outsider, I know what she was doing.
So nothing wrong with changing jobs. But if you do it because you behave inappropriately, it doesn’t serve the purpose. Just got to behave
