Friction to get to the job page

Situation

I was on a call with a new GitLab user an saw that the user has to go through an inefficient flow in order to get to the job page.

Currently, a user has to click quite a few times in order to get to the job detail page from anywhere in the application:

• sidebar => pipelines list page => mini-pipeline => dropdown => job detail page
• sidebar => pipelines list page => pipeline detail page => job detail page
• sidebar => dropdown => job list page => job detail page

Problem

The jobs details page can be too far hidden in the GitLab navigation architecture
