You tech people, normalize staying true to your path. I remember when friends would see me after a long time and asked "you still dey work for that company for Ikeja? And I said yes. They be like " you like that place o" in my mind, I had no reason to jump, I just remained, no need changing something just cos others are doing it or it's the trendy thing. I was there for 4 years 8 months. When the time was right, I left. Guess what, I returned again to spend another over 2 years before migrating. Good relationships and doors always open.
You need to understand that the vast majority of people are bad at decision making, they make bad decisions and then justify it. And for some, they truly needed the change because their situations demand it.
You need to figure these things out on time, no let them deceive you.
