Yuppp even just changing and going back

At my giant workplace, they don't think people are "experienced" enough unless they move around. Then in hiring they also comment negatively about those who move around too much. It's all arbitrary bullshit. Whatever random feelings a hiring manager has. Never what is actually needed for the job.

We all have a different idea of what a high salary is but I would suggest anything in the area of $100k or the equivalent is good in almost any part of the world.

That said, I have a good salary which has risen by a little less than 65% in the 10 years I’ve been in the same job. I realise that’s not typical but changing jobs isn’t always the only way to a high salary.
