I heard some where that people in India switch tech jobs every six months to a year. Any insight to why such a high rate of turnover? It is because of the salary increase? Or is it just a grass is greener on the other side type of thing?

I would like to have your input on my current compensation package to see if it is fair or not. I'm working for a large financial corporation located in the Los Angeles area. I have BS in computer science with 18 months work experience at the above mentioned company. My work consists of programming in c/c++, sql, and java on a unix platform. I'm also about to start adding a web based front end to my application using asp. I was originally hired on at 45k, within a year I received a 5k raise and 5k bonus. I just got another promotion for 3k and my bonus this year should be between 6k and 7k. So my salary right now is 53k and with the bonus I expect to make around 60k this year. What is your opinion on this?

Other parts of my compensation:
2 weeks vacation per year
1 week sick leave per year
8 to 10 holidays
up to 3% of salary match for 401k
up to 10% of salary to the ESPP which is purchased at a 10% discount
