I believe it's extremely common? I don't really have any data though. Everyone I know changes jobs whenever someone comes along offering more.

I'm the odd one out having been with my current employer for >5 years. I've been getting healthy raises every year, but many of my friends have averaged a 40% pay increase every hop...

I guess it depends on what you want. Do you want your job to be something you're excited about doing every weekday? Or is it a means to provide for the things you'd rather be doing?

My salary did the same thing, practically doubled every hop. That ends eventually and you find out there's a ceiling.

Well obviously, and then it would come down to who treats you better or lets you work on more interesting things. But the ceiling is typically way higher than what the people who don't hop around get.
