I currently work at a company where the average tenure is somewhere around 7 years. Wanna know their crazy secret? They don't treat their employees like disposable cattle, and actually invest in them! Our salaries go up yearly a few % above inflation as the bare minimum, we have great benefits, there's no crunch or overworking culture etc. It's a company with ~5000 employees globally too, not a tiny startup burning cash.

I'm similar to many people, I wouldn't have left some jobs in the past had I been treated with a modicum of respect and if my compensation went up with my tenure. But time and time again, pay ranges go up as new hires join in, but you're treated like you're insane for asking your compensation as a senior to match the compensation of a newly joined junior.
