One helpful perspective: a company hiring an individual has a specific problem they want to solve. If they hire you, you are the best candidate out of many they interview. You will bring a lot of value to them immediately.

Not true in large companies. Managers are often just empire building, but new hires still get top of band. Real morale killer, makes tenured employees want to look for a new job.

This is actually a really good point.

At two recent jobs where each time i got approx 40% raise, I was the right person at the right time to fill that specific niche they really needed.
