Especially in large metro areas where there are more opportunities.
There isn't much keeping a person tied to a department long term anymore (no pensions etc) so its not uncommon for a person to move up (pay etc) by moving out as their career progresses.
Often these days you have to give yourself a pay raise.
I think the fine line here is moving UP, not moving lateral and job hopping.
Even in this market its still not easy to find good, strong, qualified people.

I keep on hearing a corporate job last anywhere from 5-7 years, even the "great" corporate jobs. Is this thruth or myth?
Good equipment, diverse flying, good pay, I'd think people wanna stay there
Is it that corporations let people go whenever the stock price/market dips? Do pilots get tired of flying with the same dude day after day? Do the senior pilots grab all the good trips? Any of the above?
Had a conversation with a guy at London's Harrod's aviation FBO. He is typed-rated in the Global Express and Falcon 900/900EX and looking for a "permanent job"
Why would a guy that marketable be looking for a job?

Also be aware if you are indeed an employee of the company you would be flying for or an employee of a management company. With the management company, not only do you have the danger of the owner of the aircraft having financial issues, but now you have that same owner,no financial issues, dropping the managment company because another management company does it better/cheaper. 
Also management companies also charter out aircraft 135 to save the owner on taxes....more flying without more money.
