I am at just under 65k/year with 13 years at the same company, in office ft, with 10 previous years of similar experience. I have no post secondary education however learned on the job. I think you’re doing great

That sounds fair. After a couple more years in the field that may change. I would just look around and ask for a raise after working there a year. One thing I have learned after years of living, No is free and it's not what you know it's who you know.

Don’t pay attention to what others making at this point. Focus on gaining certifications and work experience and you should be fine. That’s a great salary for right now. Continuing to focus on others while on your own journey will only make you miserable.

Thank you, I’ve already gotten 2 consulting certifications so far since starting this job

You are making really good money for a year experience.

Not nearly enough information to give a qualified response. Overall though, I'd say you're doing pretty well for yourself making 80k out of the gate.

Word of wisdom - if your immediate goal is maximizing salary, job hop. That's where the gains can be realized if you constantly keep your eyes open for the next big jump. I've averaged 2 years per employer so far over my career and it has worked out well for me.

Edit: Unless you're my direct report. Then please stay with me, and I'll gladly promote you to prevent you from leaving me.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
