>so "(a lot) higher pay" is a moot point

no its not. I know ppl who quit MS and reapply later to get placed into a higher tier after they interviewed there again. Jumping jobs into a higher tier is easier way to get a raise than grinding at the same job.




Just adding I had to do this at a large non-faang corp. Just curious how common this is, it seems like the only work around to strict HR caps on raises.


Jumping ship for a promotion at the original company is a super common strategy in other sectors too.


Extremely common. Interviewing is a tiring and arduous process and companies have all the power. They make the bet that the majority of people are not willing to leave (esp. once they have families).


Very common.

It’s called salary compression or even worse salary inversion.
