But this is how rockstars are made. You hire in as a minion, you work hard, learn everything you can, and after a few years you can leave a rockstar. I doubled my salary each time I moved for the first three development jobs.

Definitely. I didn't quite double mine each time, but I did get good raises out of jumping ship.

But that had nothing to do with better people leaving my target companies.
