Alli Peck argues for staying at one company about four years to let stock vest, then holding it long-term to build wealth. She worked at the same company from 2016 to 2021, leaving right after the pandemic started.

About four years — stay until your stock vests.
Your job hopping isn't going to make you rich. What I suggest instead is finding a publicly traded company that you see promise and you think is going to do well over the next four years. Find a good one, get the job and stay there until your stock vests. Then keep that stock for a long time and watch it grow. This is a company that I started working for in 2016. I worked there all the way until 2021, right after the pandemic started. Find a company that you see that's promising and stay there long enough to get the stock. That is how you can buy real estate and maybe even an investment property too. Let me know if you're working for a company like this right now.
