2000 - $42k (I made it, can you believe I’m making this much?)
2005 - $120k (Why am I making so little when I’m doing more than everyone else around me?)
2010 - $173k (This job is boring, but killing it; I wish I was following my passion)
2015 - $220k (Love this place, GPTW indeed; no place to go but up)
2020 - $340k (I’m undertitled but appreciated and working on great stuff)
2023 - $383k (Still undertitled, and underpaid, and under appreciated…time to move on and start something new)

Interesting you felt like you were killing it at 170 and at 380 you feel bad. I mean, I get it, maybe you're selling like 50 million in deals a year and you'd be underpaid for it for sure, but it's funny how that works. I started at 50K and now at 250K. I'm more comfortable no doubt, but I've realized it's never enough. Probably never will be. Imagine being a billionaire and feeling the same way, as they do. Madness.

It’s all about relative value. Adding tremendous value today, but feel like I haven’t gotten what I’ve earned. Had an executive advocate that was run out a few years back, which put me in a bad spot. Currently interviewing, but not rushing it. Hope to be in a better situation by the end of year.
