My first job out of college was $12 an hr (at a tech company). I made $65k when I left there 4 years later.

Needless to say if I use that $12 an hr number, it will be a big percentage.

Story of Indian careers might be different

I started with 425k rupees and at time of leaving India few years back it was almost 20 times in total 17 years… I didn’t change companies much but those who did it might be even more

My first professional role paid $30k in 2001, and my most recent role netted near $300, so roughly 10x in 25 years.

Current income for the past 6 months has been $0, so any ego building tied to that $300k is worth precisely $0.

6.5 years and tripled my salary from $45k to $140k

I started at $50K and am at $115K now with 7 years of experience.

About 6-7x

For me I started work in 2012 at $53k a year to now in 2026 at $250k a year

75-> 184

I’ve doubled mine in less than 3 years. All I did was transition from an analyst to an architect.
