As a job hopper that's done well for myself; Realistically, I don't want a job with that much stress. If timelines are tight, it's usually management's fault (and I can say this... I've been in management in many positions). In my experience, they don't compensate you for it at all, and you can easily (at least for me) find a job that pays more with less stress. Take that as you will.

I've also been in the hiring manager role and have no problem with job hoppers. I find them to generally be more ambitious.



There is no reward for suffering or misery. It usually includes some level of unreasonableness.

Sustainable environments seek a pace conducive to life rather than absurd crash schedules, drama, churn, and burgeoning tech debt.
