Like supervisor in a manufacturing line is considered a promotion after a few years working in the company. Resulting in not relevant job experience and hence less job hopping opportunities.

you are spot on on this. i have a first as well and have worked in an O&G company. i left and move to other mncs. now i am a regional vp while my peer who stayed on is a senior project manager. maybe he is paid more than me, i am not sure. but i have the exposure to the regional and travel 50% of my time. i have a big team reporting into me and am responsible for p/l. i am not sure if i will get the same exposure had i stayed on.
