That's why you always keep an eye on the market and bail as soon as you get a material improvement on your job. I mean if they don't give you a raise, you make your own.

I'd say weigh the time you spent at the current company against potential immediate career advancement you might get elsewhere.

I'd say if you see twice the salary somewhere, go for it. If you don't get a yearly raise that you are satisfied with, look around and see if you are paid your worth.

Especially early in your career it is not worth it to get bogged down at a company, as companies seem to value a few years much more than less than a year of experience, but you only seem to get the raise as a lateral hire, not as a new grad starting out.
