Similar for me, but just 2 times in 8 years. Including internal promotions at those jobs, I increased my salary by more than 3x.
It costs literally nothing to just be open for incoming contact requests.

I have job hopped 3 times in the last 2 years, increasing my salary by over 25% each time. My secret? Recruiters. I don’t know if I’m just in a high demand field, but I just keep my LinkedIn profile set to “looking for work” and every couple of weeks I’ll get a new recruiter reaching out. I always respond and see what they’re offering. Sure, 9/10 times it’s not better, but at least I can use them to sharpen my resume/interviews skills. But then there’s always that 1/10 where it’s like “wait, you’re offering HOW much?!”
I never plan on leaving, but damn, am I just supposed to ignore an offer with a huge pay increase?

At what point do they tell you what salary they’re offering?
Does your field require extensive tests/interview process prior to being hired?

Yea salary is usually discussed after the tests/interview. I do them anyways to keep my skills sharp.

Linkedin is the only worthwhile social media. Just ignore the feed and just use it to connect with recruiters.
