Um, cause I, I definitely have always felt like I wanted to be loyal to my, at least to the projects I was working on.

Like I, I would feel like I never wanted to leave a project before it was finished.

And so but I but I did have the flexibility to think, OK, if there's a better job, I'm going to consider that.

And I I liked my first job out of college.

I like the company.

I like the people I was working for.

I like the work I was doing.

I was getting promoted.

And so everything was fine.

But the at that time, this was in the early 90s.

So it's a while ago.

But yeah.

Salaries were going up a lot every year.

It's nothing like today.

At least in my industry, it would be going up maybe even more than 10% a year.

Just new college grads every year would be making a lot more than the prior year.

And even internally, they would be giving out typically 10% raises to the people at my company.

So that's kind of what you came to expect is every year I'm going to be making 10 percent more than I was last year.

And maybe every few years I get promoted.

But really, it was still probably a 10 percent or so raise every year.
