If I had a mortgage and kids I wouldn't put myself in the firing line without a backup offer in my pocket. The real danger is you get a raise then go on a manager's danger list and will be let go as soon as possible anyway. It does seem crazy that the only way to get a double digit % rise is to just quit and then get re-hired later. | |

Otherwise losing the team a member at a time and paying 30-100% of annual salary to recruit and train replacements every few years can get expensive | |
