I wonder why MS employees don’t take offers elsewhere. Their salary is probably under market value if they are at MS for too long (ie. their initial vesting is over).
It's not so easy to just replace your job when you have a specialized skill. It takes months of applying to other jobs, doing interviews, coordinating with recruiters, etc. Not everyone has the time, patience, or ability to do that.
That being said, I am constantly looking for a better position. It takes time out of my day but it's worth it in the long run.
This. Job hopping works for some time even when you are young, when you learn fast and when everyone is hiring.
I took me one year to get out of my managerial job and I took a paycut, went to work a smaller company with lesser job title. My previous job was too good on paper. In reality it was a total shitshow. I was open to take the first reasonable offer, but recruiters were hesitant to even talk to me.
And it's not just job titles. Skills fade if you are in position where you don't continue learning.
