They say staying at a job that you hate is wasting away your time hence shouldn’t stay for long however there’s also another saying that job hopping is bad. What is the line between being a job hopper and being strategic in your career?

Yes, the tradeoff between holding on and moving on is very tricky to navigate. When evaluating whether to "hop" into a new role, you certainly have to take into account how happy you'll be versus your current role, but you may also find it helpful to jump ahead a bit and think about how you'll then describe your career narrative to the next hiring manager AFTER your next role so you can think a bit more long-term about the implications of your move.
