Even if you did have the $$$, isn’t it risky to buy a house in today’s economy/changing jobs every couple years?

My wife and I were about to sign the contract for a house then Monday morning I found out they’re promoting me to another location. Being that I could technically decline and say no however this would limit my career growth/advancement since I was still entry level. Now upper management want people “willing to take risks” and “multi-experience” in different locations which I feel is all total BS nowadays. It just feels frustrating that they expect us to move every couple of years to go up the ladder and even if that wasn’t the case the only way to move up is to jump companies as well which may in a totally different location.
