Every move should come with a 10-20% pay raise, not likely to come with your annual merit raise at the company you are at!

While this is true it can and will work against you at some point. I have passed over many job candidates that job hop. When I hire I'm not planning on laying them off. Therefore I want a loyal, commited employee not some one that will most likely leave at a predictable interval.
