> That will help you pick a better place next time.

I'm convinced there is no means available to an employee to "picking a better place". Last time I job hopped, I tried to do that — and largely, I think I succeeded. But company leadership changed, my good boss left and was replaced by a terrible new boss (who has since also left, and been replaced by a less terrible boss) … so what I evaluated when I joined is no more.

And that assumes I can even truly do a good job of evaluating a time of joining … I tend to believe I got more lucky than anything else there.

The only constant is change. It sucks esp when later in career and just looking for stability, but it’s just the way it is.

Reduce expenses, earn as much as possible, save and invest wisely, and remove your reliance on the system as soon as you can, is my advice.
