Help! Lateraling too often?

Just finished ~11 months in my first IB analyst stint, upgraded to a diff company (BB, also analyst and will be starting in a month). The issue is that I’ve never really wanted to stay in IB for more than 1.5 / 2 years (max!) When on cycle picks up, I would be happy to jump to jobs that start ASAP or in December/Jan. Would it be a horrible look to have worked at two banks as an analyst for less than a year each? 
 

not trying to stay in banking and at the end I would have 1.5 years of overall experience at least. Thoughts??
