Not sure what the term means exactly but I think it means push to almost burnout.

For a period of about 10 years I allowed LinkedIn recruiters to contact me. This led to a successive series of accepting new jobs about every 2 years or less. Each new job increased my salary and streched my limits, sometimes too much.

My salary now is 👍 and I love my current position. For now I'm done with contracting, it's too stressful; but I learned a huge set of new tricks and the 4 top languages. This makes me a prime marketable candidate should I become open to work.
