    I used to be one of the “loyal” ones but around covid time I decided to see where I could get by doing this. Since then, and three jobs later, my salary went from around 66k to now 105k. Current gig seems cool and a cake walk, so may stick around a bit.

      Same! There was a shortage in IT for a little while and I took advantage of it and got a $30k increase! With same benefits and paid vacation.

      Now even a 2% pay raise is significant on the salary I make. I feel like I’m finally being appreciated and paid what I’m really worth after a decade of struggling.
