If you tried and nobody else willing to offer you a higher pay, it is also indicates that the market has assesed your competency and determined that you are not worth as much as you think you are. In that case, just be happy that STE is giving you stable employment.
Although lucks play a part, I think it is more of a chicken and egg issue. Most employers hiring new staff will look at the candidates' past career development and last drawn pay. Therefore, when he sees someone with slow progression over the years in the same company, he will find it hard to offer a significantly higher salary and position. He tends to deduce that the person must be a below average performer. Therefore, the longer the person stays in the same company, the more difficult it will be for him to get a much better job. Moreover, over time this person who was once so motivated and driven will become so demoralised that he will start to become a poor performer.
