That is insane. You think you are making over 100 times what you started at and want to be 10000 times the starting point. That is mind blowing even if you started pretty low. Are you inheriting a business?
Got it. I'm in year 7 at a Big 4 firm and my progression looks almost identical to yours to this point. Won't get to over 4x until I get to partner but after that it's pretty much off to the races benchmarking on the original salary out of school.f burg ag said:
Big 4 through 2002 and then switched to slightly smaller firm for work/life balance.

150 is where saving 2000+ per month is easily doable. 200k is easy street and somewhat hard to spend.
i have not read this book but have listened to a podcast about it. If serious in your comment suggest reading similar book with your wife.powerbelly51 said:I see you haven't met my wife.evestor1 said:

What about that Bavarian cream pie joke I told you? There's no truth to that. Nobody with a terminal illness goes from the United States to Europe for a piece of Bavarian cream pie and then when they get there and they don't have it he says, 'Ah, I'll just have some coffee.' There's no truth to that.Ragoo said:
I knew it was a joke, thus the "if serious". but most jokes are rooted in some truth.

i posted similar sentiment earlier in the thread. salary without increases doesn't keep up with inflation over 3 years.elnaco said:

I made a lot of salary growth in my first few years out of school, but the O&G downturn has stalled it. We haven't had any raises or bonuses since 2014. I keep telling myself I should just be thankful to still have a job, but that's starting to get pretty old. Especially since healthcare benefit costs have gone up a considerable amount since 2014 as well.

Seems you were more than happy to accept much greater than inflation raises during the good years.
That's just the nature of the O&G industry.

Or better yet, NEVER get a degree in psychology. I always say a BS a degree in psychology is just that B _ _ _ Sh*_ In fact, I was in grad school and couldn't finish because I was dependent on grants. I was writng them or administering to make a living. One day they are here the next day they are gone.ZooGuy said:
I start crying inside whenever I see anyone post salaries. I definitely went to the wrong field.
NEVER get a degree in Wildlife or Education unless you want to be destitute!
heh, salary is explained at the end. The multiples are net worth.Zosima said:
Thanks. Now I see.

Nope and the trying to change jobs is such a clusterfook right now. Still a bunch of unemployed folks out there and every job that opens up has candidates applying with more experience than required. Just have to wait it out I guess and admittedly I haven't been networking as aggressively as I should be.
AggiEE, I agree that it's the nature of the industry however, my company has been on an upturn and we're exceeding profit targets by having lean teams that survived multiple rounds of layoffs deliver work that normally takes double the personnel. We've all been busting it so personally, I think at least bonuses have been earned. After all, our upper management has continued to pat themselves on the back and give themselves bonuses this whole time. Funny how in all of the lay-offs and overhead reducing they've never once proposed cutting their bonuses.
