I was comparing my salary from last year to this year and realized there’s only about a $4k difference. I’m not sure how to feel about it. On one hand, it’s some growth, but on the other, it’s still far from what I was expecting and makes me question my career choices a bit 😔.

How do you usually feel when you look back and compare your salary over the years?

Can't say I can relate. I haven't had a raise in 3 years, despite how crazy inflation has been. Many of my friends are unemployed even after months of job hunting, so I try to remind myself that I am lucky to still have an income.

Me too. It sucks. I've been looking for new work for the last year!

Are you an hourly employee? Because if you are $4000 increase over a year is pretty good. I only had $1000 increase and that’s because I got a dollar a hour raise.

I am an annual salary employee. And i guess $1000 is not bad either if you are hourly employee. Something is better than nothing.

I was looking back on my last year tax return and I noticed I only made an extra $2k. Which is the height I’ve done in years but it’s still not enough especially for this economy. I’ve been applying for jobs for the last couple of weeks but I haven’t heard anything back yet.

I went from sleeping in a root cellar to being able to comfortably afford a home in 5 years.

It is a true blessing to not even think about money after having to sleep in a winter coat. Only caveat is that I'm not fulfilled all the time, but that's life.

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?
