Is taking a new job after only a year at previous job looked down upon?

I just did this but in my defense my salary could double.

Shouldn't you know the pay before you take the job

Translation of the translation: "look at me my salary could have just doubled"

Tell the old boss that you have potential to make double the money. If he doesnt understand that then you didnt want to work for him anyway.

I think doing it once is fine, definitely frowned upon any more than that.

Doubling from 20k to 40k...ehhh.

Doubling 50k to 100k...I think your average person would understand.

Screw loyalty in the workplace. Always chase the money

I disagree. I find there are much more important things to forming a career than 'chasing money' at every opportunity.

The first 5 years out of school, development and exposure to the right opportunities is more important to me than the highest salary. Of course, it is ideal if it all three align.

I am slightly old school on this topic. I generally think that 2 years is the minimum otherwise you start creating red flags. This depends on the industry/job skill, naturally.
