I’ve been enjoying my current company for the last two years. It has a great culture fit for me and I truly enjoy the work I do. Is it bad if I want to stay instead of job hopping? I feel like to some extent it could potentially hurt my career staying in one place.

Personally, I feel that you have to do what is best for you. I have hopped jobs and I was genuinely depressed (for other work related reasons as well), now I have found the perfect, job I hope to stay for years. Your happiness is worth it!

If you enjoy it then make the most of it. I’ve changed job and really regretted it so now I prefer to stay where it’s good.

I don't think either way, moving a lot or staying put, will definitely hurt your career. It's just reality, however, that to increase your earning you'll probably have to move to another organization. If you stay in one job, it's possible you'll be taken for granted, at least when compensation is calculated.

This is what I’m afraid of. My current job is already hesitant to give raises, and I know I could be making about $15K more if I changed companies

I’ll be asking my last job for a letter of recommendation but I’m not sure who to ask. My boss, who is lovely and would write an amazing LOR. Or my boss's boss who would put minimal effort in but it would have more weight.
