The post assumes that you're unhappy in your job. If you like where you're working and the money is enough to sustain you comfortably, why move? Just ask your bosses. If they decline a raise, then ask them what you'd have to do to get paid more. Most places should give you at the very least an annual performance review where you can discuss this sort of thing. I would be wary about someone who kept leaving after 12 months and if interviewing I would ask them to explain why. On the other hand if you have quantifiable things that you have done/built during your tenure there shouldn't necessarily be an issue. It could be a simple reason like your partner's job kept changing location and you moved with them. Not to mention that if you have a family, kids, a mortgage (i.e. a stable life), moving jobs every year isn't in any way practical.
