Take a deep breath my friend, I’m sure you make more than 75% of the US and 98% of the world! Comparison is the thief of joy.

I was making 95 at 27. Now I'm 31 at 175 base. You'll do fine!

I made 73k at 27. 31 now making 195k. You’ll get there eventually. Everyone takes different paths

I started late in life, I was 70 at 34, now 150 at 37

Even if you feel behind, be grateful for what you have and are achieving so far. And also know that it’s not too late to pivot or do something else. Advocate for yourself too

Anyone recently join Guidehouse as an experienced hire Manager? I have an interview coming up and am curious what kind of salary/benefits package i should expect. TIA!

Non FAANG tech (think salesforce, PayPal, Sqaure, etc.) proposed compensation for 2nd yr MBB EM - ~200 base, 40 bonus, 100k stock vesting over 4 years, sign on bonus 25. How would you rate this? Worth consideration?

In TC calculations, would you count 100K stocks or only 25 that vest in y1?

I could use some advice on how I should handle this situation. I found out the other day another editor who started four months ago is making 8% more than I do. For context, I have been here for a little over a year. How do I approach my boss to inquire about a raise? Should I bring up that I know about my teammate's salary?
