What was everyone earning about 10 years ago and what are you earning today? 10 years ago I just finished my undergrad degree and was earning $10.50 an hour, today I'm earning $26.00 an hour. So I have made some progress, just not a lot of progress.

2014 - $155k, 2024 - $350k.
Not huge growth. I’m a working mom and I prioritized flexibility, stability, and good hours, low travel over chasing $$. Had 2 kids over the past decade, took career breaks to stay home with both my kids. I’m happy where I am and I’m able to WLB work and my young family

Any tips for how to make career growth happen in our space? I started in compliance in 2017 @ $60k and 7 years later I’m @$125k. I went from super large BD+IA to a small IA to make a 35% salary jump. Is it the type of work? I’m doing annual policy reviews, testing, AML, audit responses, I just started on COE work. I have a BS & 4 FINRA licenses. Can you recommend a path to that kind of salary progress? Our deputy CCO is at $200k so I think our ceiling is on the lower end. I’d appreciate any tips!!

2014 —> $225K
2024 —> $900K

Due to obvious conditions my comp for the calendar year (salary+bonus) is back to 2017 levels although my overall sales are more than double and 1/3 less total comp than last year. It seems like comp opportunity is always decreasing during good times (I get it) but when it comes to adjusting during bad times, nothing was done. Is this normal for industry sales?
