> This is a pretty common attitude. That is, "I'm able to pick better workplaces than you are".

Not necessarily. It's "I'm less willing to stay at a bad workplace than you are".

Maybe it was bad when I picked it. Maybe it became bad after I was there for a decade. Maybe it became bad quickly; maybe slowly. Whatever. When I realize that it's become a bad place to work, I'm not "quiet quitting", I'm putting my resume on the street. I'm not desperately taking the first offer - I'm trying to find something better, not just something different - but as soon as I have a good offer, I'm gone.

This is harder and harder the more senior you get. It looks suspicious if you're hopping after 1.5-2 yrs.

Unless you want to get into a pure management position, the most senior (pay) technical resource is almost always a consultant. And you can give yourself the promotion to consultant any time you want. And when you're a consultant, job hopping is the expectation.

One hop is probably fine. There wasn't a meeting of the minds. If it becomes a pattern, it will probably repeat.

I understand what you're saying but respectfully, that is not what the person I am replying to said:
