Oh man, that sucks. I’ve had many amazing oppourtunities in my career and have seen others struggle for just one, and it’s hard to identify why that is.

I definitely think job hopping has helped, though. It increases your chances of getting a good manager that can line up opportunities, helps you broaden your experience, and builds self-confidence and helps you push back on bullshit because you prove to yourself you can get another job and so don’t have to put up with one you don’t like for too long.
