> doubling the salary

Except then word gets out that you’ll get a big raise at company X if you threaten to leave and they have to start paying everyone that amount. Even the people who would have otherwise stayed for 5 years at the lower salary.

This is why I’ve always assumed you have to change jobs if you want a raise.
