>>Who are they supposed to be loyal to? To themselves. The best advice I ever received was from my dad. And it was 6 months into my first job. I wanted to hop and there came the advice 'investments matter more than income, and you need stability to borrow money for the big ticket ones'. I hopped anyway because like your case I was looking at doubling my income. But the next two ones I've gone slow and with stability built up good investment assets. The advice is true. Inflation can eat whatever you earn, so investments are where the magic is.
