At 30 in 2019 my base was $110K but was in a sales role and crushed it that year and made $306K in no income tax state. Was sweet. 2020…less sweet

sometimes I wonder Fish bowl is only for Big 4 consultants bragging about their eye popping salaries at young age ..of course good for you guys ..but there are others in this world who make normal market ranges ..40 yrs old …Sr M 170k , 33k bonus, ESPP, long term incentive plan with 4 year vesting ..of course no comparison with the huge numbers that is being talked about here …You are doing well my friend at 30 live your life & enjoy your time at this young age than over thinking

I agree. SO MANY of these young individuals talking about massive salaries are also the large majority that tend to experience burnout in their careers. No time for happiness or life outside of work.

I am 30, and I accepted a job that was 25k less because
A- it wasn’t in CA
B- the team dynamics and the life first, work second mentality was A++ at this company.

I took a career path change at 26, went full time into getting my masters and just graduated last year. I will tell you—- I am SO FREAKING HAPPY with this new job, new city, and new life.
It’s a hard pill to swallow (especially when you have student loans) but the saying “money doesn’t buy happiness” is REAL

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.

I’ve got 8 years experience, work at a small, hot creative agency in NYC and will be promoted to CD soon. I’m not irreplaceable since no one truly is, but I’m a high value employee responsible for a good proportion of the agency’s marquee creative work and some important new business wins. I’m at $165k now, what should I ask for with my promotion?

She informed me that is more in the SM range and she would reach out if there was a SM opportunity she had available. I’ve been in industry for more than 10 years. I didn’t think 150-175 base was too high for a manager role with Big 4 in DC. I make close to these figures now. Am I going to take a pay cut coming from industry to consulting?
