      I didn’t know about that. At my company, the head of HR (3.5x average salary) recently told everyone, “If you want a higher salary, go work at [rival company].” This was onstage in front of ~150 people.

        It’s true though. Your salary range is determined at the initial negotiations. After that, your salary will only rise with a few percentages. For a real raise, its best to have a new initial negotiation (and shoot for the stars), wheter at a new company, a new department or a new function.
