The consequences will show. Choices made with enthusiasm produce value because they draw out the best you have to offer. And that's what any employer is looking for. When you describe a past job to a prospective employer, your eyes should light up with passion. You should be able to describe it as an exploit and an adventure, not as just a job.
Persistence is the tool that turns a job into productive work.
That's what you get paid for, and it's what a new employer buys when he hires you. It's what he looks for on your resume. The only jobs that don't get done right are the ones people give up on. It's too hard. No one can do it.
