How do you weight the benefits of OE vs hard core focus on career progression (aka. job hopping, finding the senior+ level roles that pay high, building relationships to get promos)?

OE def seems like short term more effective in terms of getting paychecks but wondering long term if trying to land more senior positions also makes sense. OE is always possible long term but can also take a lot of mental energy.

Is lifestyle creep part of the joy? Or do you actively try to prevent it and stay locked down on savings/investments.

I personally have no debt besides my mortgage.
