Sure, but comments in this thread alone tell us that not all job hoppers do it for money/title bumps. I'm happy to pay market salary, and give competitive raises if warranted, but you aren't going to become the VP of engineering or CTO at any company I'm involved with if you are 24 and have worked at 8 companies for 4 months each no matter what skills you have. That doesn't mean that person isn't good at what they do. But I'm building teams, not a group of mercenaries. If I need a mercenary I'll hire a contractor.
