If a lot of people are resigning at your company, that means the business will start looking at increasing compensation and bonuses to retain you, and usually leads to faster promotion rates for those staying behind and opportunities to learn outside of your swim lane (resulting in usually more senior titles when you finally leave and ultimately higher comp than had you left sooner) However, if some company offers you double your current salary, throw yourself out of the window and sign that offer
