I’m considering leaving my current position after 1.5 years, and left my two previous roles after roughly the same amount of time (one was slightly longer). The primary reason for leaving is the type of work/clients (which have always changed after I’ve been hired, nothing I could have known in advance). Does this seem like a red flag for potential employers? Should I just stick it out for another year here, despite the work being painfully boring/dull?

The length of time is fine, but I'd caution how you phrase the client issue if asked. There's a lot of expected churn among client relationships but they might take it as you're the type to get bored. Use the initial interviews to probe for how they choose what types of clients to pursue and how do they work on getting their current clients to try new things. This could help you get a sense of what they are willing to do in the long term.

Nah fam, job hopping is the norm and anyone who tells you years at a company shows loyalty blah blah blah has brain worms.

hopping is normal, but if you’re gonna move again, make sure you’re confident it’s gonna stick this time. think less about recruiters and more about: where would i want to work for 5+ years? and pursue that job instead of going from meh to meh

Agreed! I would love to stay somewhere long term, I seem to have a bit of a bad luck streak when it comes to clients and the business shifting. Definitely something I can be asking more about during the interview process.
