I've definitely seen and experienced this. Yes I changed jobs three times in the last 7 years but my compensation went up 3x too. It might have done had I stayed in the first job, it might have not. I would certainly have missed out on all the experiences and adventures of the other jobs. Things do stagnate when startups mature. Now I'm a director of engineering at a massive (not faang) tech company and it feels like a longer tenure would be better - it takes time to sink in, develop connections and get high impact things done at this level. But I'm not sure I would have gotten here without all the variety of experiences that I gained in the last few +-2 year stints.
