staying too long at an org hurts you in more ways you can think..

Stay too long at a company and you will get:

• A 10% raise
• More work
• A new boss you didn't ask for
• And the title bump... 6 months after you deserve it

Meanwhile, the new hire?

• 25% hike
• Title uptick on entry
• A clean slate - no baggage, no blame, no office scars

Seniority gives you history. Newness gives you leverage. Guess which one pays better?

Also please don't be shocked. It's not WRONG. It's business. The real WRONG is done by you to you -> Thinking "they will notice someday"
