I've switched jobs every year and almost tripled my pay in 5 years. It's stupid to not job hop, I'm making more than twice what my friends do that have stayed put.

In my experience, companies with a ton of job hoppers have better engineers too. The people that hop a lot tend to be more outgoing and amenable to taking risks.

Job hopping is only lucrative because companies take advantage of inexperienced devs and never give raises.

What’s the breakdown of your current TC? And also when you started? I got 40% increase by job hopping in 3 years.

I make about 110k in an area with a market average of 90. I started my career at 40k around 4 years ago. Over 30% pay bump each time.

Obivously, you hit dimishing returns over time, but job hopping early career has boosted my lifetime income significantly
