There are employers out there who play the long game, and try to retain good talent. Unfortunately, they are a dying breed and in the minority. In today's climate we are only one merge/acquisition (or private equity purchase) away from everything changing.

At my employer, employees typically stay less than 3 years, or basically retire with the company. There is very little attrition after 5 years. The company also provide continuous long term incentives once you reach certain level to retain talent. Annual increases outpace inflation, and there are reasonable promotion opportunities every few years (with corresponding compensation increases.) Good healthcare, Good vacation plan, 40hrs workweek, but mostly middle age people with families.

It's not FAANG money, but maybe 1.2 times national median income before bonus and 1.5 time national median after bonus and long term incentives.
