You are not wrong, the % definitely does start going down. I would say I probably averaged around 5-6% per year with some good years at 10-12%.

Very specialty group with advanced degrees, I started at 212 as a SM1, and we have some SMs that have been that for a while pushing 290. But not accountants.
