At what point in your career did your comp actually start to feel fair? I’m 5 years in and still feel like I’m being paid like I’m brand new. Wondering if there’s a title or experience threshold where it finally clicks. Bleh. Feeling a little stuck. Advice would be nice 😊

A couple years ago I left a long term job for one that paid me 50% more. I was 47. Finally it felt fair. Unfortunately I got canned a year later and now I’m at 0. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ Sorry, I wish I could be more inspirational. 😝

I don’t think it’s a function of years but largely the kinds of companies you pitch your skills with.
Ideally at 5 years, comp should start feeling fair

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses. This job will be based out of San Francisco. I currently make $30/hour for the same role in Chicago, after OT it’s about $60,000. Do you think it would be wise to accept the offer? Thoughts in general?

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.
