I've switched jobs every year and almost tripled my pay in 5 years. It's stupid to not job hop, I'm making more than twice what my friends do that have stayed put.
In my experience, companies with a ton of job hoppers have better engineers too. The people that hop a lot tend to be more outgoing and amenable to taking risks.
Job hopping is only lucrative because companies take advantage of inexperienced devs and never give raises.
