I've jumped around every year and a half - two years over the last five years for legitimate reasons. Just reluctantly joined a new firm a couple of months ago because my previous firm was trying to silo me into a practice I had no interest in since one of the primary associates in the group left earlier in the year.

Now a job I'm actually interested in has popped up. Do I go for it or am I stuck at my current place for a few years since job hopping was already seemingly a concern last search?

Can anyone help me find a site on Oracle EPM cloud? I guess there used to be a page where you could plug in metadata around business industry, revenue, number of users in finance...
