I switched jobs several times over COVID, and it was always culture-related. One where I joined a FE dev and was immediately told they had a churn problem. I quickly learned why.

Sometimes job hopping is about keeping the goals you have for yourself and your career intact at the cost of some short-term 'reputation'.

HR says so often that we're 'people first' and then raises an eyebrow when you give a real accounting of the quick moves. It's so frustrating and backwards.

Any advice? I really keep getting rejected by HR while when I get in via friends I normally make it to the final rounds / or it’s a startup in tech where hops don’t matter as they will check performance.
