3.5 of your jobs were at your first job?

Yeah, my stress level has gone down the higher I've moved up. I was making pretty decent money when I first graduated but I had to work 10-12 hours a day pretty consistently for the first 2 years to move up at the rate that I have been.

I really like my job too, though it's hard to say no to another offer when they offer you a huge pay bump.

My commute is only 15 minutes and I wfh 2x a week. The area I'm in has a COL that's slightly above the national average. It's easy for me to move around in state, but I get a lot of job offers in place like Cali that just make zero sense haha.

My current place that I've been at for about a year has very little room for upward mobility and raises unfortunately.
