What’s the biggest salary jump you’ve ever made by switching companies versus waiting for a promotion? Jumping hasn't been harder with the current job market looking as bleak as it is, but I also feel like I've hit a ceiling at my current spot. What would you do?

25% increased in level and also moved from Cleveland to Chicago. With the cost of living I would say it was closer to a 10-15% raise. Note: that was 10 years ago though.

Easy 20% it was a good time then .

Biggest single jump was 32% moving externally — internal promotion the year before was 8%. The math isn't close. Current market is slower, but "ceiling" is the key word — if the band is tapped out, waiting just costs you time. I'd run a quiet search in parallel rather than going all in. You learn a lot about your market value just from getting to offer stage. Are you ceiling'd on title, comp, or both?
