    Up until like 2022, changing your job every one and a half to three years was the best way to increase your base salary and total lifetime income.

    I’ve changed jobs every 3ish years for the last 12 years and when I started I was making $15 an hour and now I’m making $67 an hour.

    My friend who I met at the $15 an hour job has only changed jobs every 7 years, he’s now making $27 an hour.

    We have similar skill sets and graduated from the same college except he was 2 years ahead of me, although, I did move to a higher cost of living area which is probably good for like $20 of the difference.
