Not the person you asked but I can give you my reasons:

1. Job market being overly picky makes it hard to jump ship, especially if you're early-mid level 2. There's a general notion that "everywhere's the same deal" so people just learn to cope with it 3. "Golden handcuffs" - compensation so good you're willing to tolerate the downsides.

For not reading the sibling's response, you really nailed the reasons.

Market is WILD! I had a super good interview just 2 days ago, just to get a "sorry, maybe we'll call you later". I guess my stack is too crap. No one seems to, really, be hiring. ---- edit Also, I am making good money, and I can do my job with my hands tied behind my back...

Some unsolicited advice from the internet: take some time to learn a skill or decorate your house or something. If you have slack in your schedule and can't see a way to utilise it at work towards a promotion, then maybe investing in things outside of work might be fun?

Organizations have adopted clear Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies stating that you need to be a certain oppressed race and gender to get ahead regardless of other qualifications. So if you are an Asian or white male, you need not apply.
