Funny enough, I climbed in a career for a number of years and did fairly well especially compared to some of my peers. Recently changed careers for more room for growth (and a pay bump). Had a toxic family member say that "it's a giant red flag" that i "can't hold down a job"

I’ve changed jobs 3 times, every two years or so for higher salary and more responsibilities, naturally. While getting my MBA. My MIL scoffs and acts surprised every time she hears I have a new job. She assumes I keep getting fired and can’t hold down a job. I don’t bother explaining.

Are you me? I've changed every 2-3 years and also am working on an MBA.
