I've had a chat with HR recently along the lines of "i'm not planning on leaving but I can get 20-30% more with less responsibility" with 100's of jobs in my area looking.
I don't like the unknown of changing to another company but there is only so long you can stay when costs are going up and you know you can make more elsewhere.
What gets me is if I do leave they'll not be able to get someone for less than what I'd like so seems like a no brainer to keep me happy and with the company instead of needing to hire and train up a replacement.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
