In today's age of growth & technologies, is job hopping good or bad? According to you what are the advantages and what are the disadvantages of job hopping? To what extent it is good and to what extent it is bad? And if you want to reach certain salary level to sustain today's expensive lifestyle in short period then I don't think it is wrong but what are its long term effects

Great question.
If done smartly, its good.
It can help you get good raises, choose your area of work and join a great company.
Downside is that if your career story is only job hopping, you come across as unreliable and confused and after a while, companies would not want to touch you with a barge pole.
Do it in moderation. Don't overdo it. And have a good reason apart from money for every job hop.
