> (...) that comes to an end after about 24-36 months of working at the same company. After that the vast majority of people just stagnate, get complacent, the job stops being interesting to them and they move on. Or, another explanation, you are mistaking cause and effect. Maybe the people figure out they could be earning so much more somewhere else but they are unlikely to get the kind of raise at their current place, so they get disillusioned and demotivated? And then they change the job getting the significant raise, further reinforcing the behavior. Now they join another company fully expecting the same thing to happen in 2 years.
