I see people claiming they were getting 300% raise while switching every 2 years . My question is - is it consistent even after 10 years of doing so? Or is it just first 2-3 times you see 300% raise and you don't know what will happen next time?

It can’t be consistent for 10 years because engineer compensation has only been ballooning for a little while. Ten years ago there was no way you were getting completely enormous raises by switching because it was 2012 and comp wasn’t bonkers. We will see how it goes in the future, but I have a hard time believing that one can truly develop high level skills by switching annually.
