Some people let their employers treat them any kind of way. I wish a mf would. If I sign a non usurpation agreement you better make a partner or give me non usurpation money. Hard stop.

Were these increases promised to you in some way?

Lolol you let them do this to you? Like… WHAT

Depends on what is in your contract (if you have one) and what jurisdiction you reside/work in. What state in the USA, what country? This is really an employment law question for a lawyer that cant be answered without more detail

I wish I wasn’t adaptable. Humans aspire for a greater level of comfort and once achieved, adopt that as their new baseline. Because of this, somebody making $100k cannot simply comfortably revert back to a $50k lifestyle. The slow growth of personal wealth isn’t noticed as ideated. Instead, we are never satisfied.

Can you relate? Has your salary / net worth growth dramatically improved your quality of life?

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
