Agreed. They had a radio segment on the other day talking about the "professional company man" and that you are destined to be underpaid by sticking with the same company for several years and that research (not sure whose) has shown that changing companies (or industries) every 2-3 years positions you to optimize your pay. I can see how that would work quite clearly being in the O&G biz.
I worked for the same company for 8 years after college, I was getting hosed on pay when I left, just the way it goes.

My point exactly man. I have a friend who works for BP (12 years in, led three different divisions over her career) and she was privy to the "market pay" for the job after she accepted the job and was $40 underpaid. Hence, she is looking for a different gig
When companies can't find someone to fill a void, they look outside of their company and when that happens, they will have to pay to peel someone from another company which increases the overall pay for similar positions because a standard has been set.
My brother works for an oil and gas recruiting company and those guys are the sharks b/c they are playing the company against other candidates against their primary candidate - all for a quick buck.
