When you come from the bottom like me, the thing that usually gets you out is that hunger and ambition. But it's easy to lose that as you find your way out and onto comfort. That comfort zone is well known for slowly killing dreams and killing companies.
Thank you for framing job hopping in such a great light. I find after 15 months in a job I swing into the comfort zone and that’s when I start looking for something more to push me forward. I always surrender to this urge because I also worry that if I don’t somehow the hunger will disappear?
Stagnating in one place is my greatest fear (often to the detriment of my physical/mental health in some instances)
I think there is a sweet spot between hunger and satiation. Too hungry and you won't be able to take risks and may thus be stuck in a dead end job
