Alli Peck advises against frequent job hopping and recommends finding a promising publicly traded company, getting a job there, and staying long enough for employee stock to vest. She counsels holding the vested stock long-term to build wealth (e.g., buy real estate). She gives a personal example: she worked at such a company from 2016 until 2021.

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.
