How much of a salary increase did you receive each year working retail? Trying to figure out where I stand. I'm in a MCOL city and I definitely make a bit less than my colleagues. I have 5 years of experience

I worked for Walgreens as a RPh/PharmD just out of school. I was 40h/week making 116,500 in 2015 in South Jersey. I left in 2017 since apparently none of the RPhs received a raise in 2 years despite many working above and beyond expectations consistently. I was curious whether the salary increased during COVID (about 2020) , I was recently applied for the same position at Walgreens and was offered less than what I was making previously (54/hour). I would HIGHLY suggest transferring to pharma industry bc you will end up making way more money and it is soooo much easier and less stressful.
