I’ve generally found that even a great company environment couldn’t prevent me from switching jobs when inflation rose up. I got a 20% salary increase by just quitting in February of this year, and got another 5.7% salary increase in June again. Yeah, my resume doesn’t look great right now, but my skill set is in enough demand that my tenure is a non-issue.
My only concern is the speed of my upward mobility (which other companies couldn't have provided, even with pay increases), and I'm a bit concerned about the potential consequences of mass layoffs if an economic downturn takes place.
I don't want to be the first one out because I have the shortest time in the company. My higher pay won't mean shit if the labor shortage, which I doubt is even a real shortage and is just wages rising too slowly, turn around and becomes a labor surplus because entire industries are closing.
