In corporate jobs, raises are budget-driven; switching companies is key for pay increases.

If you work in a corporate job, just be aware, your performance doesn’t matter. Your raise was decided by the budget committee.

If you want to see a big increase in pay you have to jump to another company.

That’s true and has been for some time. You are on a bell curve. Jack Welch wrote about it.
