Is it damaging to job hop after only 1 year?

I hopped at 11 months once and nobody blinked. The trick is you don't make it a pattern. One short stint on your CV is fine, two or three back to back is when hiring managers start asking why. When I interviewed later I just said the first role wasn't what was scoped in the JD, kept it neutral, no bad-mouthing. 22% is a real jump, in this market where AWS and increments are stingy that's hard to replicate by staying. My honest steps: take the offer letter in writing first, check the notice period clause, count your pro-rated AWS you'll forfeit, then decide. Money now beats loyalty that isn't reciprocated lah.
