I'm sorry but, stay at your job so that you more valuable to your company and your co-workers and quality of the code at the cost of your career and earning potential is bad advice.
> If you’re leaving your company because the market is hot right now and your company can’t give you a raise that might not even change your life, then maybe you should question again.
If your company cannot afford to give you a raise, and that raise isn't excessive, then it sounds like the problem is still your current company.
My advice is the opposite: Make your decision on quantitative not qualitative measures. I've seen a lot of people leave a good position that pays well to go work in a technology or domain that they think will make them more satisfied in their career and then realize they left a team they enjoyed for one they didn't. If you are moving for $25k increase in salary, it makes the risk more tolerable.
