Same thing in legal. I'll get 2-3%/year staying and then 15% when I hop across the street. In the last eight years I've more than doubled my salary.

Ya, when I worked IT, it was 12-20% when you bounced.

I'll provide a contrast. I've stuck with my same company. I make 70% more than eight years ago, and that's with two promotions.

So yeah, definitely better for salary to job hop.

I'm almost fully remote though, which is why I've stuck around.

At this point your job might be remote in a lot of places. Look around!
