I didn't enjoy the sentiment of the post as it came across as far too entitled.

- Disappointed that Stripe wouldn't just give him a job and the same pay back. - Referring to the new job as a downgrade when in fact it was simply a bad fit. - Job hopping every 18 months as if that is perfectly acceptable and sustainable for the employers.

I don't agree with all his actions but I appreciate the transparency. The writing gives exposure, documentation of his CV and is arguably showcasing a skill. Job hopping isn't sustainable and shouldn't become a permanent pattern, but it's not unacceptable. Early career it's the fastest way to gain salary, experience different kitchens/industries and arguably just how the job economy is; you will not be rewarded for job loyalty so why optimize for it.
