Its not like companies are going to give you a 10% wage increase because of inflation. They want to maximize profits.

Right, and when you jump between jobs, you lose out on the time you work. Does it justify the 10%? And usually there are more hidden drawbacks.

People dont realize when you change jobs, you lose like 2 months of earnings. That affects your benefits, 401k, everything. Then the training and meeting new people... If money is what you are going after, go for it.
