This has been the only way to increase our pay beyond measly 2-5% growth if you stay at the same company. I would love to not jobhop and become a 'superstar' but making half the pay of your peers is really intolerable.

Especially in the last 5 years. 2-5% bumps for 10-20% inflation… gotta love math.
