Is it okay to swtich jobs just for the heck of more money?

I'm sure this subject is closer to hearts of millions of software engineers out there

You've seen them before - they switch jobs every year for the heck of more money. Is it okay to do that? Or is it not? Why?

I feel its almost sad that people switch jobs only for increasing their respective CTCs. If they do switch jobs after ACTUALLY adding value to their skillsets, then its fine, but without doing so ... is criminal. You are simply increasing your cost without adding any value. The company that lost you is then a lucky firm. Well, if they were not paying you enough, then serves them right any ways!!!

Well it depends on the firm ur working with,value addition to skill-set is always welcomed,and i think a person shud switch job after 2-3yrs time,in both ways he will be fruitfull..
