I can see how that would very easily happen, but my experience is that it's easier to find a new job than get a raise. Eventually you'll get that senior position too.

Forbes magazine found a long time ago that the best way to get a raise in America is to find another job.

I've gotten anywhere from 20k to 40k increases when I switch companies. If I stay I'm only getting the "standard" 2~4%

Probably true everywhere in the world, but may vary across fields of occupation.
