This is a question directed to people making an insane amount of money as senior or principal engineers, like 500k+. How do you continually get higher paying positions? What do you do that other people don’t do? I've been in this line of work for about 3 years now and I just want to make sure I'm doing the right things for the most career growth and success.

Not making 500+, my naive perspective says to change companies frequently, you’re not going to get double digit pay growth on an annual review (this info could be wrong)

What is the process for negotiating a job offer (from a firm or otherwise)? Do you have to be ready to ask for more salary/bonus/other perks right when they call you to make the offer, or can you ask for time to consider and then call back with your additional requests? I’m not the best at thinking quickly on the spot, so feel like I could be more thoughtful if I took a day or two to consider my requests.
