Sounds like you found a great employer who actually invests in their people.

2.5x in 10 years is about a 10% annual raise. I've always had great performance reviews but never broke 10%. I'm at 3x salary over 8 years, but almost all of that gain came from switching jobs.

So a lot of people end up job hopping because internal raises are rarely competitive. That and a lot of companies are poorly managed and it gets old after a few years.
