Loyalty vs Opportunity

Imagine a situation.You worked for some company for 4 years and you barely got any raise.Lets say you earn 70k a year.BUT now you have an opportunity to quit your current job and go work for other company and get a salary of 100k per year.

You quit your job and work for the company 2 years.You earn 110k per year BUT again you got an opportunity to quit your job and go work for some other company and make 150k per year.

My question is-is this company skipping a good idea or its a better idea to join 1 company and work for it till the end waiting that maybe one day you will get promoted to CFO or any other high-paying position

Staying loyal to a corporation is the best way to a have your career go nowhere. Those who take risks have an opportunity for the greatest rewards. Many people stay too attached to a particular job and IMO the rewards of job hopping greatly exceed the risks.

You will also learn a lot more and bring more to the table by working for multiple corporations.

Keep jumping until you hit the point at which you are senior vp. Then stay loyal and wait for your turn at being CFO or CEO

You have to fully assess every opportunity. Sometimes it will make no sense to take a job for a little bit more money if you're on a good trajectory were you are. But loyalty to one company is basically a dated concept, even in Japan.
