I’m a director. I make good money.

I find that net worth is a far better indicator of financial success than salary. I know people who make 1.5x or 2x more than me who live beyond their means. I’ve always saved well and should be on track to retire early because I’ve kept my lifestyle in check.

Salary =\\= satisfaction

You're 40 and still comparing yourself to others?

Ahead or behind on achieving what though!? We all have our own personal goals with regards to the life and career we want, so the only thing you should be tracking against is your own targets.

What's your big goal? Early retirement? Buy a house? Travel? More time with family? A specific salary or position?

When do you want to achieve it by? What would progress towards that goal look like each year?

Comparing to others is a fruitless activity, as the only thing that matters is what you determine as a success. If you're always chasing everyone elses perceived successes you're destined to feel like a failure no matter what you do. Don't set yourself shifting goalposts - decide what matters to you and work on how you acheuve it!

Hi all. I’m finishing up school and looking to start applying for jobs in tech, I’m going for computer science, what range of salary should I expect going into this field?

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
