This is obviously an aberration where you are doing exactly what you claimed the gp did.

Moving jobs is the single best way to get a raise and has been for decades. Leveraging the experience at a company (which is relatively static) for a higher wage at another where that new and different experience has more value.

Notably, how company leadership changes are less likely to be from internal candidates than a transplant from another company.
