Ok I'll add mine (all of this was in the Bay Area, CA):

2006: 25K
2007: 45K
2009: 55K
2011: 75K
2017: 100K
2019: 110K
2020: 120K
2022: 140K

This is constantly going to different jobs and asking for more, but I usually hopped due to layoff or company going under. Currently seeking a new role due to another layoff. I swear I don't know how people buy houses and start families in the Bay Area... the constant job losses create a very unstable environment for either.

Looks like you've got a good trajectory though! Keep up the good work, you'll get a house someday (unless interest rates keep rising 😬)

$140k In the bay is $70k which is poverty in 2023. One thing is for sure is you need to master your craft instead of focusing on active income. That’s gotten you nowhere

That is absolutely not poverty in the Bay unless you’re someone who lives beyond their means in a stupid way. Granted I’ll never own a home in the Bay however I have a great house I rent and little debt. Your response isn’t just factually incorrect, it’s gross and unnecessarily negative. Math may not be your strong suit though…you do work at Citi. 😂

The Bay Area is not an easy place to make it and you have great trajectory! I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll never afford to buy a house here however….I am buying land back home in the south. My plan is to use the next 5 years to pay that land off and then I’ll have a place to build the home I want, when I’m ready. I stay here because I can bank money while loving all that the Bay has to offer socially.

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Question for nurses: What do you do and what's your salary range? Still deciding on which area should I pursue. Thanks!
