Hello,

Insight/reality check.

I started in an undergraduate program almost 4 years ago. My current base salary is ~90k with OTE at ~135k, LCOL area. I was recently promised an 11% raise with another 5% and title bump in another 6 months. Work life balance is good, some weeks are >40hrs but most are less. Most people I work with make above >250k but have >10YOE. I would say I am an above average performer at my company with similar responsibilities to seniors.

Am I under paid for my role?

Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

Also, if they do ask to show proof, is that a red flag? Or is that pretty common? If so, I imagine I’d just block out the company name and stuff like that?

Anyone feel frustrated at times with the super aggressive sales personalities we deal with? My AE is always pushing on every ask no matter how minuscule it is. My vp is super anal about anything we do. I understand these guys pull in huge commissions and bonuses that’s why they are so motivated. However what I personally feel is they just nag us until we do the job according to their spec. Just venting……anyone else feel the same?
