Case for staying with a company for a while

Question

Saw on Twitter: "People optimize for small money by jumping between companies, especially on E5 level below. Big money starts at E6+. To get there you need to gather knowledge - usually by staying for a prolonged amount of time in a domain/team."

Not always a good idea to hop to another company for a promo or a raise. People don’t consider that you have to start from scratch and you lose all the context you’ve built up over time.

I'd agree with staying in the same domain (as long as it's the one you want and non-niche). I also agree that you should stick around longer when you're at the higher levels. However, I don't think switching teams in your early years will detract from your long-term expertise. In fact, getting too comfortable in one team will probably be bad for your early growth.

I know comp is important but having a chill team environment is second to none, especially if you’re older like me (46). I’m not looking for fast-paced and stressful deadlines. If the pandemic taught me anything, it’s that none of this 💩 matters so spend time doing what you love with the people you care about!
