Companies seem to hand out only crumbs for pay rises but are willing to drop mountains of extra money when hiring fresh people. In 3 years of working at one company, they gave me an extra $20k in pay rises. After leaving that job for another one, My pay went up $60k AUD in one go.

I've seen this with many friends right now in Melbourne. People are easily leaving for $30k-$50k with recruiters emailing and calling daily.

I've also seen manager friends hire like crazy in the past few months only for those new hires to leave for more money as well.

Yeah I just went from an average Adelaide job to a highish end Melbourne job working remote from Adelaide and the change has been amazing. Almost everyone from my last company just left for remote jobs paying way more.
