My income tripled over 9 years, and every significant raise came from switching companies. I'm now on my 4th company, all in similar industries, so it's not like I moved to something like O&G to get my raises.
As a rule, HR departments spend far more resources in attracting talent than retaining talent. It's very frustrating for me as a manager and as an employee.
Plus, our generation (I'm 32) is known for moving around. We learned from the baby boomers. Be loyal to yourself, because your company won't be.
I've also found that now that I'm established in my career and am very good at what I do, companies don't have a problem with me moving around. They know that they won't have to train me to get me established in the company.
