Exponential. How do I help her understand? She is a government employee with set income table. I switched careers at 40 and now income is based on AUM.

Has income been going up?

On a base until AUM income eclipses base. About 6 months from that.
We get a lot of new monthly contributions to accounts, so I flow about $100k in new money a month just from that. At current growth rate I'll flow $1.5mm in 2020 and $2 mm in 2021, and that does not count rollovers.
I know that's nothing in NYC, Miami, L.A. etc, but in a small market in the midwest that's not bad.

Hola everyone,
I have 1.5years of experience in Angular and recently i started looking for job opportunities. I was hoping that it will take 2-3 months at least to find a job opportunity and then when i serve 90 days notice period then I'll have around 2years of experience. But i got an offer letter in the first company i interviewed at and they are offering 80% hike.
I think i still have many things to learn and i can do it in my current company. Now should i accept that offer letter or reject

It seems like everyone is in agreement that switching firms gives you a salary boost, but that you could be viewed as someone that doesn’t stick around.
