For those who've been doing FDD for a while, have any of you experienced your total comp decreasing YoY from like FY22 and onward? Mainly driven by bonuses being smaller over the last few years. I've gotten salary increases each year but they haven't kept up with some of the prior year bonuses.

Yes based on inflation. In 2022, starting salary was 85k at our firm and folks starting in 2025 also got 85k. Thats hell of a downgrade. Plus bonuses havent crossed 3k

Market was hot so comp was way up. Now market isn’t hot + big AI push = no increase in A1 salaries for past few years. I don’t get it?

No my total comp (salary + bonus) has been steadily increasing. Bonus has been lower than during COVID and there was 1 year where I made the same as the year before bc of large COVID bonus despite strong salary raise. But overall comp has steadily increased. I think my CAGR for salary over the past 7 years has been ~25%

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years. I anticipate getting a promotion this year and would like to get closer to $60k for my base salary. I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions? Thanks in advance!

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
