I don't mean to be pedantic, but there should be a distinction between "pay increase due to jumping ship" and "annual pay increase due to remaining in the same workplace" (a.k.a "increment").
Consequentially, the difference is that "increment" of 20% is very high (at least in my industry) whereas and increase of ~20% should be a reasonable figure to attract the average person changing jobs to make the move.
Basically my increments have ranged from 2% to 8%. An early post by someone who had gone through job rotations in the same company for 7 years and received such high increments is really a great deal imo.
