Honest and serious question: how is deferred compensation legal? How can firms unilaterally decide that they are going to defer earned pay for upwards of 8+ years?

If that were the case, it would vest immediately and not in 8 years. It’s nothing but a hand cuff. Not to mention the firm gets to carry the float for the time being.

I have deferred 8.5% of my pay since the start of the year. I don’t get it for 8 years. I don’t get to “invest” it until Q1 2020. So money that I earned, I can’t control for an entire year nor receive for another 8. Total insanity.

Yes, it’s a total hand-cuff, but I view these defer comps as just icing on the cake, savings for my kids’ college tuition down the road.

💲For those who DON'T think a six figure salary is possible:

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.
