Ha! Tell me about it. My current salary is $78k in Florida and I'm a jack-of-all-IT-trades. I answered a few Craigslist job ads and got offers for $100k+ in my own city. I'm soon starting a job that pays about $120k-150k (depending on my productivity/hours). That's a 70-90% pay-raise with almost no effort in searching. Also I get a lot more benefits, fewer responsibilities, and an actual bonus/raise/review schedule. Being loyal in this day and day will only get you exploited.
