How long should one stay in the same job?

Ali, its the ultimate truth , that cant be denied. The average salary range in the market changes every two years. So supposing someone is working in a firm earning £2000 a month .. while the market set salary range is now £3K a month ... if you go ask for a raise, your company will put you through tonns of evaluation and performance measurement etc etc , they will check the progression charts that HR drew with you when you first started , they will see how much they have invested in your trainings , costs etc etc .. and finally they will come and say, ok we will give you £200 raise, nothing more !

but the minute they decide to hire a new person they will be happy to pay £3k to them per month !!!! just psychology really + they get to reevaluate the talent levels of the company employees !

At the end of the day it's the experience/exposure you get and the $$$'s made. In my previous company where I stayed for 8 years I was being paid much lesser as compared to new joiners, like CB mentioned fresh blood.

That's exactly why I left my previous job after 13 years with the company.

:k: Like you I was luck to work in different avenues of the company under the same GM, which has helped me a lot…
