One of my senior managers told me, her starting salary was 58k back in 2006. How is it staff are only making 60k now.. that doesn’t even allow for inflation!

Median wages have barely crept up / stayed relatively flat compared to decades ago. There have been productivity gains for the average worker, so we’re producing more now than ever before at any point in human history, but those increases in production have yielded benefits / been accumulated by the top 1%, leading to an exacerbated inequality problem.

Not many jobs you can start at 52k (high COL) as a staff 1 and 10 years later be at 200k. I have a different perspective than most I suspect - my starting offer was more than my parents current salaries combined. I was happy as a clam. :-)

$45k in 2004 starting at PwC advisory. Making $245k now + $30k PBB (when that was a thing). You get paid what you are worth over time...not worth much as an unknown talent coming out of school

Senior manager in Texas

I’m starting at 66k. I thought it was gonna be 50-55k, so you can imagine how excited I was.

Mine was 53,500 in 2018

42k in 2000 as a Staff plus OT. Although the OT went away in 2001/2002.

I started at $52k in Jan 2015 after 2 years interning for the regional firm

PwC Assurance Associates started at $43 in 2004, 47 in 2005, $48.5 in 2006, $49.5 in 2007.

As you can see the increases varies greatly.

Don’t forget 2008 and 2009 no increases. Pay is based on market not COLA or anything else.

You’re free to quit and make more someplace else?
