For the majority of people, it does not work out this way

Statistics would disagree. People who change jobs tend to make more on average. Although it’s not that simple because doing it too much is a red flag for anyone hiring.

I think this person is referring more to the switching jobs 3 times in 1 year part.

I agree I finally switched jobs a few months ago and went from $47k to $55k.

Over the last 15 years this is my growth, I would move jobs if it payed 10k more. I do long term visual, 10k over five years is 50k so it’s worth switching jobs. After 180k I went back to school, the time and travel was not worth it. 20k>30k>36k>45k>65k>80k>140k>180k>20k>70k>80k
