Am I reading you right? You are saying that the vast majority of people in your social circle have been in the same job for 15+ years, and yet they are under age 50?
That would be astonishing, unless you are in some really unique industry.
Perhaps if it's one of the big consulting firms, maybe. They start right out of university and then follow a career track which can easily go 15 years to partner level. And for those willing and able to live that life, I imagine they don't change jobs as often as others.

There might be one or two competitors that aren't able to pay any more and would be a lateral move at best, which isn't worth the risk of hopping unless things are horrible where you are. A fair number work for government, so that's your only option save completely changing careers.
