4 YOE, but it required a job change

Stock vests every year for the first 2 years, then it’s every 6 months. Amazons vesting schedule for the first 4 years is kind of weird. First 2 years is cash heavy, then last 2 years is focused on the stock.

Jumped firms. My first salary ever out of school was 60k.

1 YOE

Its like that skinny Homer Simpson meme where "1 YOE 6 figs" is the front and then the back held together with a clothespin is "record breaking inflation"

6 years for the first time, which took two company moves. Went from ~$75k to $110k, but that only lasted a year before my entire department got downsized.

It took me two more years to get back to six figures, I went from $95k to $125k.

I've been in six figures ever since.

At my firm the annual compensation call comes from one of the partners notifying you of your bonus and salary increase.

If I believe I am underpaid, when should I negotiate for a high salary? Should I thank the partner, and ask to schedule a follow up meeting in a few days? Should I mention right away that I am looking for a higher base? My ratings are always great.

My firm does not offer "bands", so it is difficult to know what colleagues are getting paid (I am using info from Glassdoor).
