On: Ask HN: Did you regret staying at a job for too long?

Unless you’re very lucky - typically it is not a smart choice to stay longer than 2-4 years at 1 tech company. In current situation.

People who stay longer only encourage employers to keep old salaries as is while buying new workforce for the market price.

I don't know why truth is often downvoted here.

This is the fact from vast majority of all people I know in the industry — you only get substantial raise when you switch companies. Unfortunately.
