I feel so stagnated at jobs so quickly, having no progression can really feel like being in a rut and makes me look for new jobs quite regularly, is it easy to job hop to find new opportunities or have people found better success staying where they are?

I'm of two minds about job hopping. It's true that moving around can increase your earnings, as you typically will be paid more as you go to a new organization. There's also an upside to staying with an organization, provided the work is gratifying and there's a path toward advancement. However, if you find yourself pigeonholed, and management can only envision you doing the job you're currently doing, then it's time to move on.

Yeah I’ve always heard you progress quicker when you move on but moving a lot can be exhausting.

Totally dependent on the company and whether they encourage progression or not. Definitely something I consider if I am looking at new opportunities because I don’t want to trade one stagnation for another.

Yeah true, I think I need to broaden what I look for with new jobs.

You have to find the balance that is right for you between progression and stability. I tend to change jobs every three to four years because for me, it is a timeline that makes me feel like I am making progress without dedicating so much of my personal time and mental energy to job hunting. I don't mind going periods of time where I feel stagnated at work, because it's more effort that I can put into my personal life.

That sounds like a good amount of time to stay with a place, you get comfortable and give yourself time to try moving up before having to move on.
