You are better off referring to the salary guides released by the various recruitment agencies to benchmark your rate of salary increase against the market. This can differ significantly by industry and field so it's more useful for you to compare for the job you are in and not the jobs other people have.

Generally, job hopping is a good way to increase your salary but only if it's done wisely. As a fresh graduate, focus on learning both technical (hard) and social (soft) skills that can be relevant for a longer time. Network with your fellow graduates and experienced colleagues because that's how you will find better jobs i.e. by recommendation.

I have been a long time civil servant but unfortunately my pay has only increased by 40% despite a 6 year career

For your info

I'm contemplating a career switch at the moment - my salary hasn't jumped much over the past 3 years...
