Usually life happens, targets rarely work or matter. I had targets too, realised the only purpose they served was to make me look silly

likeupliftingsmart

Agree with PC1 but would say it’s good to have targets though they shouldn’t be the whole purpose. They’re good to have as something to work towards to but if life has other plans that shouldn’t shatter one.

I might behind most people as I started outside UK, at 22 I was offered 2.7k and now in mid 30s I am at 90k. Frankly speaking no targets, I am just grateful that hardwork is paying off although it is taking time. I don't have a lot of hunger for more money hence I will be fine with whatever and wherever I reach.

Is this all base or TC?

No, I think meaningless because everyone’s bonus could vary significantly or comp could be structured differently. Historic actual total comp makes more sense for comparison, only difference is cash flow. The current year stated will be an estimate.

350 by 30

Graduate at 21 and do 2 years consulting. Lateral to banking analyst and promote in 1 year. Banking TC at associate is around £100k base + 100% bonus. Possible to make VP in 2-3 years which would take you to close to £350k TC by 27.

UK - 70k by 30.

Including a fully flexible role (work pattern, work abroad x time, and office when I want to).

Started with no GCSE 18 at 16k, now 26 at 42k
