This is literally why I’ve quit and re-joined my job 2 times now. They won’t give me a competitive salary, competitive salary is given only to newcomers, so I occasionally must become a newcomer
I worked at a place that would give at most a 10% raise. That number was virtually impossible to get. We had so many developers that just wanted competitive pay or something close. So many quit, resulting in 1of 2 scenarios:
We rehired the developer a few months later at 2x the salary. This cuased months of delays and expenses to their projects.
We hired a replacement dev with less experience at 2x the salary. This costs months of time to ramp up.
Both scenarios pissed off our clients and resulted in lost sales.
