Excessive job hopping simply does not look good on a resume! I want to work with engineers and PMs who build lasting monuments, seeing them through to completion, dealing with both the fun and the unfun bits.

You claim to want it. Do you pay for what you want?

Yeah but IMO most people learn 90% the stack in a year, smart people usually get bored after two years. I say that as someone who’s been at the same job for 12 years now. I never met a dev who worked at the same place for more than 4 years that was actually worth the money.

“Place” should be team or project. Same company can mean many teams or projects. For example I’ve been at a company 5 years but worked on 3 diff teams.

Well, I was at my last job for 10 years :)

To be honest, none of the stuff I've worked on I've gotten comfortable within a year. At Oxide I feel like I understand maybe 30-40% of the stack at the moment after 18 months?

Well oxide isn't exactly a simple crud app, is it.
