    Amen. Like the song says, You can’t always get what you want, you get what you need.

    Trying harder only hurts your body more and more, and you rarely see the results you hoped for.

      Yeah. The best strategy is to do the average, network, and job hop once every year or so. Focus on your health, friends, and family.

      Networking with seniors and managers is more likely to get you decent pay rises than being the most productive member of any team, but job hopping will likely net you far more; including leaving and coming back.

        Job hopping is also very easy to explain during an interview.

        Why did you leave this job. "I was seeking new opportunities for personal growth and development. The 30% pay raise wasn’t bad either. "
