If your skill set is just getting up to speed, that seems limiting to me.
I know I've ignored many resumes with people who jump jobs every 2 years because those first 2 years you're getting paid to be varying degrees of incompetent and useless within a team. Moreover, someone who leaves every 2 years will never be in a position where they actually have to deal with long-term problems.
If you don't think you're getting paid enough, well enough go out and do some capitalism. But going into any given job with the intention of quitting almost immediately to optimize your pay, I don't think that's necessarily the right way of doing it either. Employment is actually a 2-way street in good companies.
