This gets brought up here lots, but the whole "leave for 20% more pay" thing only is true earlier in your career. You will eventually plateau. Your next job switch will maybe be 15-20%, your next one 10-15%, etc. until you reach the inevitable compensation plateau. I'm over 20 years into my career and my last job change was for +1% or so, and I looked! No company would offer more.

So then your strategy shifts, right? You start looking for more interesting, novel, less stressful or more stimulating work for the same pay.
