I've been working towards a T10 mba since before I graduated from undergrad.

Hustled at work to get early promotions and the best projects. This allowed me to go from $60k to $115k TC at 1 YOE.

Founded a student org at my UG serving URM and stayed involved after graduating, personally mentoring close to 100 students over 4 years since graduating, and the org itself serving around 2000 URM since its inception.

Applied to Darden, Berkeley, Tuck, McCombs, Ross, Anderson in the Consortium R2, interviewed at each school, waitlisted at Darden and Ross, dinged at the rest

Just accepted an offer from a non-FAANG big tech company which will increase my TC from $135k to $230k at 4 YOE

Feeling accomplished but bittersweet given that getting into a business school program was long a true dream of mine for personal reasons I won't get into (immigrant related story)

But I'm ready to close this chapter of my life which was defined by maximizing every professional and many personal decisions towards helping my bschool app

My new employer will pay $10k towards education each year so I might do a PT Booth MBA at a leisurely pace to get the most out of the education benefit. Booth has been my dream bschool from the start, so looking forward to starting this new chapter.

Cheers and best wishes to you all

What role and company non-FAANG is paying 235 TC! Congrats to you

Pre-sales role for a tech company that is not FAANGMULA but is almost as much of a household name as Netflix/Google. Thank you!

Fighting Salary Compression

I have 15+ years vesting in current company/ position, 25 years over all. I love my job!
But for the past 3 years I’m told that my yearly annual increases will be decreased due to reaching a salary ceiling. 2% rate increases barely kept pace with rate of living, especially after this years 8-12% inflation increase. Also, new employees are now being hired at a higher rate.

Anyone else experience this issue? How and what is the best course of action to address?

Some insights will be much appreciated :)

WARNING: If you've raised a concern around workplace discrimination with your manager or HR, consider consulting with a lawyer NOW - even if it's just a single meeting get guidance on how to document occurences, what to do with the documentation, & what your options are. If HR told you they are "investigating" you need to know that HR isn't doing the "investigation" that you think they are. HR will protect the company's interests & they'll deploy grimy tactics to do so - including faux empathy.
