Why raises suck and changing companies is the new default. AKA Why YOU should resign

Companies have realized that the market is moving too fast and are growing faster than ever. In this climate, it is better to focus on widening your funnel than on retaining the existing employees. Small turnover rate means your company is at a higher risk of getting entrenched in monoculture and old ideas. To innovate you need fresh blood. Amzn has taken this to the extreme with fire to hire, and most companies with sucky refreshers follow the same philosophy. Loyalty is not rewarded anymore, so VOTE WITH YOUR FEET.

People who add a lot of value are being compensated for it. If you arenโt getting good raises, you havenโt made yourself indispensable
