I’ve been in IT for many years. At least when markets are not like they are right now, moving to another job was absolutely the way to get market wages.
Being the “nice guy” and sticking around for “loyalty to the company” (lol) just fucks over the worker. It’s not unethical to vote with your feet.
I’ve been in situations where people try to manipulate good people into thinking that it is.
My problem is also that I am autistic and have a plethora of other issues. My greatest problem was always in finding decent work. Right now I have a job that is very good and pays well and I consider it my first ever ‘real’ job. I got it at 40. So that’s how long it took me to do it.
The guys who job hop right after college and are directors by their late 30s are not something I can imitate, sadly. Not out of lack of trying. It is just that fucking hard for me.
