We all have career goals, but are you ahead or behind your financial ones?
College grad scared he wasn't able to find a job from job search horror stories making 54k
Without college degree at about 60k if I hit goals.
Degree from state school, TC $140-145. Wish I was able to push it over $160+
15k extra comp is like 7.5 after taxes. Not gonna change your life much, bro. Life has a fucked up way of finding your extra money and sucking it up. You need pretty big earnings movements (maybe like +50k) once you get over 150 to really notice it.
I’m chasing prestige more than anything else.
26, 88K, DevOps... they literally bumped my pay like 2 months after I joined to “keep my salary competitive”...
The 20 year old me would never imagine that I’m able to make this much money.
33, mba from state school, 190k ttc. Feel underpaid.
Underpaid? Compared to whom? You're doing great actually!
HBS, GSB, Wharton? Otherwise you’re in-line.
Crappy state school CS undergrad, ~30, 350K TC. Living the dream.
L6 at amazon?
Yup
36, 280k. In the Bay Area it never really feels like it’s enough to make a major lifestyle difference.
What's your role?
30, $140k salary, Virginia
25 making 84k non tech I think I'm doing well
Damn! What role?
Keep chasing!
