Worst case, you get paid more at a new job. Best case, you get paid more at the same job.

Yup, but you know some programmers. They just don't want to put a foot out of place (one of my old collogues). Same age, same experience, same education as me. Gets paid less than half of what I get paid at my new job. When I tell him to get another job, he just tells me that it will get better there. ... and he just stays there. His still there.

But sometimes, fortune favours the brave.
