UBS If I had to move within the company to a different location , how does it work? For example if I move from low cost of living area to high cost of living area does the company re-evaluate the base salary within USA? Or do they come back and mention its your family requirement since your partner is located and you are moving ?Suggestions or experiences any !
Who feels this way sometimes? Haha

No degree. Sysadmin until 25 making $75k. Hit a plateau. Stumbled into staff aug work. Turned into consulting by acquisition, $90k. Went to industry after a few years, back to $75k. Back to consulting after 1 year, $95k. Promotion after 2 years, $130k. Four years later moved to Accenture, $160k+. Now I'm over 40 working with MDs that are 35.
It's not a straight journey nor one I would recommend. Stay in school, move up early.
Very interesting story. Keep it up buddy.
Dropped out of college at 20 making 16/hr as desktop support. Sysadmin at 23 at 65k. Then to sys engineer at 70k. Consulting at 25, 90k as a technical consultant/architect for HPC. Switch to focus on cloud at 26, new job at 130k. Now 30 and 150k+ as cloud focused solutions architect at Slalom. Still no degree.
31, 225k
Journey to what?
2 years of experience doing salesforce consulting. Making $116k, also 26. Kicking butt with a Promo and raise every year
You’re underpaid big time OP
What would you suggest?
If you know business processes, get into ERP. (Get a couple product certs) If you are personable, can speak in front of people, and communicate your ideas well — you’ll be $200k+ in 4-6 years.
