Asking because I'm currently in a pretty happy position. Work is chill, colleagues are nice, full remote, pay is quite good. I've been here for one year and a half, and I could see myself staying here almost long term. My practice lead has been here for more then 10 years, he still seems pretty happy.

I know that goes against the usual consensus of moving every 3-5 years, so I wanted to see what you think about this.

a few 15% raises can make a huge difference come retirement.

Definitely! I got a huge raise before coming here, and I think I'm good on that side for a few years. Normally there should be a promotion at some point, with a raise linked to it.

I wouldn’t go back to the office for a fifteen percent raise because I’d be losing money.

Completely agree.
