I think this is a fairly good post actually, though perhaps gets to the point with more words than sufficient. Now that I've had enough shit experiences and pay bumps, I'd absolutely prefer to stay with a company that suits me well, but probably for a maximum of 2 years (none of my work experiences in the first 12 years of adult life have lasted 2 years or more yet). I'm currently with a company that feels like a great fit, but I'm making less than I should be for the area I live in, and the housing crisis demands that Canadian software developers should probably negotiate more aggressively. If my needs are met along all the dimensions the author mentions, then I'd only seek another company if I can be close to certain that I'd love it, it would suit me, and it would be an after-tax gain of 20k or more annually.
