my base salary has climbed $30k in 2.5 years and I will get another base jump this upcoming May (at the 3 year mark). Add bonuses in and I’ve gained about 40-50% in TC.

I do think jumping jobs can accelerate earnings more quickly, and I think tech pays more too. But I have definitely felt rewarded for my efforts in consulting.

Up $60k in 3 years, promotion + raises

My base went up 60k in 2 years (firm base bump + promo).

Actuals: I went from $77k as a new hire to 3.5 years in at $130 now

Forecast: if I get a promo to M next year that will be a bump to ~$180. Alternatively will see a raise that would be to ~$140.

So ~4.5 years and $60-100k increase. Noting that promo to M is not guaranteed, but I have a very solid case for it. And I’m at Accenture. We aren’t necessarily known for paying the highest.

I started at 72K as a campus hire in July 2019. Now at 113K as of October 2021. Not 60K but very happy with the increases. It was mostly concentrated in 2021 with my promotion 86K —> 113K.

I started at 90k base in 2017 and this year I am making 165k base in 2021. New raise I will be at 190k next year.

Started at 67500 in 2017 now at 101500. Not thrilled so have been interviewing for a jump

Mine is up 50.
