I'm not willing to relocate from upstate NY (starting a family, local extended family, own a house) and my pay is already in the range I could find at other companies in the area. I could probably get a 10 to 15% bump going somewhere else but that's about it. I also get the impression that jumping from job to job every year is frowned upon locally. That may not be the case everywhere.

Getting 30% increases each year means after 6 years you're making almost 4x what you started at! Congrats! That's just not possible where I live without starting your own company and being very successful.
