Model staying for annual raises vs job-hopping for bigger bumps — cumulative earnings trajectories, the crossover year, and the costs the salary math hides (vesting resets, promotion paths, search risk). Use when asked should I switch jobs for more money, is job hopping worth it, model my salary if I stay vs leave, or raise versus new offer. Produces the year-by-year salary and cumulative-earnings table, the crossover year, and the not-in-the-model checklist that usually decides it.
What to give it
▸Current salary — and realistic stay-raise % — their employer's actual recent raises, not the poster in the break room (default 3%, labeled)
▸Jump assumptions — bump per jump (default 15%), years between jumps (default 3), raises between jumps (default 2% — jumpers often land at the top of a band and stall)
▸The invisible items — unvested equity and its schedule, pension/tenure benefits, promotion proximity, how they'd handle a search
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Trajectories and crossover shown — never just "the offer is 15% more"
✓Unvested equity is computed in dollars if it exists
✓A genuinely-close promotion is modeled, a vague one is named as vague
✓The honest read takes a position with reasoning
✓The disclaimer line appears in the artifact
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not compare a single offer number to a single current salary — trajectories or nothing
Do not ignore equity because it's "complicated" — the complication is the money
Do not treat "my manager hinted at promotion" as a modeled event — named role and timeline, or it's noise
Do not assume the jump cadence repeats forever without naming the résumé-pattern cost
Do not hide behind "it depends" — deliver the honest read with its reasoning
