If your wages don't go up with at least the rate of inflation, there's an effective paycut every year
Anything less than 10% a year, I switch jobs. The switch then brings a bigger raise.
This is what I did anyway, now the job market is so shitty I'd be willing to stick out an extra year or 2 at an otherwise great employer even if the raise is not enough. Gives you a different kind of bump for the next switch because now you're no longer an annual job hopper, you might stick around for 3-4. Gives you a bit of edge in the eyes of at least some bosses.
