Yes, that's exactly the problem. Once you have that 2-3 years of experience, you're suddenly qualified for all of those jobs that want it, that were out of your reach when you just got out of school. Meanwhile, the 3% yearly raises have not kept up with what other employers are offering for someone with a little experience.

I've seen this firsthand, and heard similar stories from friends. Not all companies, certainly, but it seems common practice.
