If you are optimising for income, changing employers can certainly work.

It is amazing how money is so tight for raises, while seeming flush with cash while hiring.

The money is tight for raises because people do not change jobs. The more people hop jobs, the higher the raises since the employer can no longer bet on most people staying put at lower pay.
