Article is old but I have often heard this anecdotally. I have known a number of people over the years who changed jobs every 1-2 years, because they said it’s the only way to get ahead salary-wise. I suspect it’s a lot harder to pull it off now, tough. There’s a lot of fake job postings. Not to mention running the gauntlet of submitting your resume 300 times to get auto-rejected 299 times by some dumbass AI where a clueless HR person typed in the criteria prompt. “A young person with at least 30 years of experience who knows ALL the latest technology but will work for less than a landscaper per hour thanks bye”.
P.S. I’m not shitting on landscapers. They do real work, unlike most office drones like me.

The job hunt is much less annoying when you’re already employed though. No real rush, and you can be very picky.
