This is not meant to be a humble brag— just wanted to inject a little bit of positivity in light of all of the hate AS has been getting (internally and Ex) recently. I’m thankful to work where I do.

Exactly — I am L10, so just received my goal compensation. Much earlier than I predicted in college.

Congrats! I had the goal to make $100k by 26 and hit it by 23 in TC and 24 in base salary. Now I’m chasing $150k. Before anyone asks, yes, I’m here for the money.
