Well, let's be honest - when you're just starting out, making $50,000/year, you can probably double your salary in one jump. If you're making $200,000/year, you're not going to double your salary, recruiter or not.

You're absolutely correct.

In my case, I doubled from $100K to $200K. I would not expect to double it again. I'd be lucky to even see 50%.
