I know that's very much a thing in the business world at large. There's a phenomenon known as wage inversion that comes into play. But I haven't done it in the non profit space, and I'm not sure it's all that common. I suppose people have done it though, it stands to reason that it happens, but maybe not as much as in the for profit space.
Yep I have before but I will tell you it doesn't really happen alot in non-profit. Sadly most of these roles seem to pay around the same so there isn't a whole lot of job hopping, its more working yoru way up at the place you are at. However, like I said, I have done it.

Do you know the average wage increase when business ppl jump around? 10 percent raise? 20? 50?
It absolutely is a thing and is very common in the nonprofit industry. Typically you’re only getting a 2-5% cost of living increase each year by staying in your current role—job hopping 2-3 years will likely get you 10-40% if done well.
I’ve done it, in 2 years I jumped from 55k to 99k. Have to be super dedicated to improving yourself to sell yourself though. I was constantly doing new trainings, tracking my metrics like crazy, and searching high and low for networking socials to get references.
