wow. That's deep.

TLDR: Don't get stuck at "0.1x". Do leetcode and switch while you get competitive salary.

In a new company you are usually 1x for the first year. You might be a 10x for a while after the first year then some thing changes like a project move or disagreement with technical decisions/manager/raise then you become 1x and then 0.1x. This is a dangerous time. Better switch. If you don't in the next appraisal cycle you will get compensation below you skill level and then its hard to get your compensation back.
