> most smart people hiring understand that you switch jobs seeking a higher TC, in the same way businesses change course/pivot seeking higher profits

> The "stay forever and maybe one day you will get promoted", is a thing of the past. You make more money switching jobs than waiting for a promotion

These statements are FAR from universally true. My TC has more than doubled in the last 5 years without a job hop. In the same time period, many of my peers have hopped to facebook et al and increased their TC comparably. There is no one true way.

My TC went up 5x in the last 5 years. I accomplished this by job hoping twice, more than doubling with every move. That could not happen if I stuck around the old job, even after multiple promotions. My only regret is I should have job-hopped earlier, I missed out on 5-digits of income.

There is no one true way, yes, but one gives the employee more control over their destiny.
