Most of what you said is true. It's best to build up your network and connections first before trying to move to a different company and always best to leave on good terms so you dont burn bridges.

Because references are important.

Absolutely, build connections and don't burn bridges. All of that can be done in a relatively short period of time though, in far less than a year even. I have good friends at all of my previous companies that I still keep in touch with, I've used several as referrals, and I've helped even more land jobs of their own.
