From a pure immediate money perspective, sure changing immediately to a higher paying job makes sense.
However, generally each new job comes with a ramp up time before you become useful and then a further ramp up before you can develop new skills (in my limited experience).
I don’t think I could properly progress in my career by building higher level skills if I had to learn new organisational practices and technical skills every few months. And arguably, IMO proper progress is essential to securing significantly higher salaries in the future (but I’m not sure how the total money aspect works out though).
- silicon2401 5y agoThat's a fair point but to me that's already built in to job hopping. If you're not able to secure a new job (or hold down an existing job), then you keep progressing, but at a higher salary. I work for money and nothing else (I couldn't care less about software) so I gain no benefit from doing the same thing (growing my skills) at a current job than at a new job with a much higher salary.
