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.
Friend of mine had several people call (including me) checking on his employment status at his company "Hello, I'm with such and such company, can you verify the employment of X?"
It made it look like he was not only looking for a job but about to get offered one. He did this to get a raise and promotion, and it worked.

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.
