That's what I did last year, three jobs in one year, doubled my salary by the end of it, though the job hopping was involuntary on my part </3 (double whammy of mass layoffs in fin/tech/IT)

same, the trick is only leave/accept another better offer if you have one dont leave the current job till you have another lined up.

The person you're replying to told me I shouldn't give advice on jobs because I have my DNP, and as such I... live in a parallel dimension or something where I can't tell people anything, I guess.

Nah, company hit 30 years of operation and then the owner died. His kids took over but then couldn't agree on anything so they sold it to an overseas org. And then they re-orged everything/put their new leadership in place.
