My salary has almost doubled in the past 4 years. Switched jobs twice, recruiter both times for higher salary. Let’s see what the next 4 years bring. I am concerned for the economy.

In the same company?? If so, that’s freaking awesome.

Nope. Raise much less than inflation and bonus has been less due to market. Hope both improve in the new year

Just 1% raise in 2022 and 2023. Got frustrated with it and switched jobs recently to give myself an 18% raise plus way higher bonus potential. Would recommend the same if anyone else is expecting a raise.

Glad I switched jobs in 2021 & got a big jump otherwise I would be behind.

My base hasn’t moved much but overall I’m up a lot in the last 4 years. Mostly due to increasing bonus multiplier, spot bonuses, and RSUs

What's your preference for plaintiff's side? Steady pay at approximately $120k with no bonuses, or a base salary of $70k plus a cut of what you close over a minimum threashold? Midwest-ish market. In both situations, you get a cut of what you bring in.

I recently accepted a job that I quite overqualified for because I’m in need of a job. I got hired as a Marketing Manager and work directly with the Marketing Director. Come to find out my director is still in school and has absolutely no marketing experience. She’s been with the company for 4 months. They seem to want to utilize my complete skills set and make up for her lack of marketing knowledge but maintain her position as director and pay me a entry level marketing manager salary. Advice?

Career advice that I give to the people I manage- do one more thing everyday that you weren’t going to do or didn’t feel like doing- for your team or for your client. Could be notes, a follow up, a reminder, raising your hand to tackle and drive something-whatever. That little extra effort against something you didn’t “have” to do, every day, overtime will make you invaluable
