Please stop comparing yourself to others! Not everyone can make 200k at 25. You need to be exceptional at something (skill, luck or parents). Not everyone can be in the top 1%. / Rant over

I didn’t make $200k until 26 like a loser. I’ll strive to do better in my next life.

Same!

You don’t have to be exceptional to make 200k, you just have to get into a role that pays that. As I’m sure you’re aware, not every 25yo consultant pulling in that dough is exceptional.

Never forget, they gave Chandler Parsons $25m/year.

Right place right time.

So you’re not making 200k at 25

I never said this problem was limited to consulting. It's just especially bad in consulting.

But am I behind?

Currently working in-house for a large bio pharma - like the company and most of the people, but the work is really getting monotonous and I just leaned through the grapevine that I am making significantly less money ($15k to $30k) than others in the same level/grade as me. The work I do is equally difficult and I have a smaller team because people have left, so there is no way “type” of law justifies this. I think I just did a poor job negotiating my salary and raise. Any tips on what I can do?
