If you're ambitious, climbing the corporate ladder is probably not one of your main goals...

  What alternatives would you suggest? Seems to me moving companies you means losing all the people who owe you favours, and whose respect you've earned by being good at your job. Starting your own company, consulting, or becoming a famous blogger/internet celebrity are all options, but they seem to mean doing a lot of nontechnical work.

    It seems to me (at least as far as my career has been going), that job hopping is the easiest way to climb the corporate ladder. Switching companies is a very good opportunity to get hired a notch or two higher. Even three. Switching companies gives you breakthrough jumps. Staying at the same company will only get you a slow arduous climb.
