Ask HN: Is job hopping as bad as they say?

I'm 33 and since I started working I've went through 6 companies - the shortest tenure was an year, the others in the 1.5-2.5 years range. I'm at a stable place right now for about a year, leading a small team at a BigCo with nice colleagues and learning. Despite the fact that there's nothing wrong with this current place, friends talked to me about opportunities paying 50% more in teams led by amazing people and I'm tempted. I'm not even sure I'll apply, I just wanted to give some personal context and ask HN if: - job hopping hurts long term career growth at management level and above - it's better to find a good spot and stay there as long as possible given the incoming stagflation/high rates /recession scenario Thank you!
