Switching employers, especially in tech, to get more money is not a new thing due to COVID. For whatever reason, employers are more likely to hire new talent at a higher pay grade than give equivalent raises to current employees. I know lots of folks in tech who would switch jobs every 2-3 years and get a much more significant raise each time than by staying with their current employer.

- pm90 5y agoTrue. Catered lunch and snacks in an office with people I like to work with were legitimately good perks that I personally valued more than some dollar amount.
- mym1990 5y agoI did value these things as well, and still miss going into the office, but since it’s not a choice anymore, might as get something else in exchange
- the_tee 5y agoTHIS --> "For whatever reason, employers are more likely to hire new talent at a higher pay grade than give equivalent raises to current employees." Gets even worse around promotions.
- andygrd 5y agoAmen, this is the unvarnished truth. I suppose it's easier to overlook the employees and knowledge you have. If I stayed in the same company for the past ten years I'd bet on less than half of what I'm on now
- yakubin 5y agoThis is true. But switching jobs this fast a lot doesn't look that good on resume.
