Is it a good thing to change job every 6 months? Does it look good to recruiters that you are very capable of interviewing skills ?

6 months per job is a terrible idea. You'll likely have stayed too short of a time to make any significant impacts. Plus, you'll just look fickle and lost in terms of career goals

Its definetely recommended. Most high performers I run across change every 6 months, best ones more like every 2-4 months

I personally only accept offers and then move on to the next opportunity before my start date

The first thing that comes to my mind when I see a resume like this is why can't this person keep the job for more than 6 month? Even a job every year sounds quite negative for me. My thought is that if you are good at what you are doing, your company will do everything in its power to keep you. Frequent jump sounds either you are letting go often.

If it's just once, that's fine. But if it's frequent, you will be asked why and you better have some convincing reason.

P1, I disagree, I see the highest performers ( think the best of the best) move on a monthly basis, so op yearly moves put you at a certain disadvantage when comparing yourself to the best

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
