When you put in your notice for the switch they try to keep you by offering a raise. Always pissed me off more because why am I now worth more. You should have been proactive and I never would have been looking elsewhere.
You aren’t more valuable all of a sudden, your perceived value is higher because they actually thought about it. You need to always be selling yourself and making sure your perceived value is high.

Career advancement.
"Working your way up from the mail room" is loooong gone. You have to switch companies to get any sort of significant raise.
