#2It's basically shadow knowledge imo.

#3Unfortunately without switching often, it does not appear that one can maximize their total compensation, simply because companies will often reward new employees more than existing ones.

#4I am not sure how you can stay at a company for more than 24 months (maybe 48 for FAANGMULA) without there becoming an enormous gap between your compensation and market compensation.
In Canada, you become a veteran at 18 months it seems.

#5> If you’re leaving for more money or safety, I will never argue. If you’re leaving for a different type of experience (e.g., remote work vs. in-office, big co vs. start-up) or for different company culture, I won’t argue at all. If the environment is not toxic or not draining your energy and you’re still learning, then why leave the company?
I'm not sure this boiled down set of people is the set of people considering changing jobs very often, so I'm not sure who is left in the audience of this advice.

Yeah, compensation is always a tantalizing reason to switch, but in my experience it's rarely the primary trigger for someone to switch jobs.

Indeed. Who are these people leaving who are otherwise happy with their comp, company culture, and what they do?
Are people really searching for jobs just because?

In case anyone else was wondering about FAANGMULA, it's apparently: FB, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb.
Having never heard of this acronym before, I'd be curious to know how that list was put together. Is it a function of the size of their engineering teams, compensation, or something else? What would be the next company or two in line for this list?

Yeah, this is the real problem. Since a job hop typically nets you an extra 10k/y 6 years in a job is going to have you down 60k/y.
Why would you do that to yourself?
In saying that, I've stayed longer in some rolls than the money would imply, but that is because some places are amazing, and there is a lot to be said for a place which treats you well.
