Yes it’s common in certain industries and you shouldn’t be rejected out of hand for it. Remember some careers in some industries can be characterized by lots of networking and job-hopping to follow people you’ve worked with or to take talent with you. For some reason in the tech field (in my experience), job hopping can be a little more organic than just independently leaving a job and getting a completely new one on your own. Groups and teams of like-minded colleagues/friends can migrate together especially when the job market was a little softer. Associates might concieve their own companies and ideas and get others to join them, etc. There are often interesting stories behind a choppy work history that go beyond just applying for different jobs and leaving a place. If you think about it traditionally then it looks worse on paper.
