tbh, I haven't had the will to job hunt, so I can't say for certain; I can only speculate based on data for my area. There are other positive factors that keep me at my job. What I maybe _should_ have said is that I may have been able to make more money more quickly if I job hopped. There's an unfortunate disconnect between a development team that understands value (and is responsible for all hiring decisions) and a non-technical upper management. I'm fortunate to have a supervisor that fights on my behalf, and I'm pretty aggressive in pushing it myself.
