With same timeframe I started at 60,000 and just accepted for 175 in a low COL area. This market/industry is insane

MCOL (salary not TC)

2013 - $45k
2014 - $50k
2015 - $70k
2016 - $105k
2017 - $125k
2018 - $140k
2019 - $155k
2020 - $175k

Leaving 2021 out for personal privacy reasons, but it has only minimally changed both from a salary and a TC sense. And only 1 of those not including this year represents a raise from the same employer 😬

Not every 12 months but I did some averaging. A couple were total duds and I left quickly (4 - 6 mos.), most I stayed longer (15 - 20 mos.) But every time I changed jobs my salary has gone up, even when at one point I was let go after being on the bench for an extended period at the previous place. Once I got to that 125k level I wasn't even necessarily that concerned with leaving for a pay bump, it has always been a different reason related to career growth/preference, and I haven't always taken the highest salary available to me... I could have jumped straight to 115/125 instead of 105 for example.

I work at a fast growing tech company and my stocks doing well but I am not fully vested.

I am managing and on boarding new contract/salesforce administrators but it doesn’t look like I will get promoted anytime soon. I’ve been receiving calls from recruiters of smaller companies. Is it a good idea to move now or should I wait one more year until I am fully vested?
