I think this community is frankly out of touch on compensation expectations for the bulk of the population, but you are definitely underpaid and should find another job elsewhere.
- Futurebot 11y agoI knew about a lot of the numbers in this thread, but reading them here blows me away anyway. Mine went like this (all numbers inflation adjusted for 2015, and are base salary. Location is NYC): Company 1 (~25 employees, entertainment industry. No benefits. No stock.) 1997-2000 $30,757.56 (entry level) 2001-2002 $98,944.97 (junior) 2003 $128,986.96 (senior) Company 2 (post dot-com crash brought salaries way down, ~150 employees, software company. Ok benefits. No stock.) 2003-2005 $66,838.10 (mid-level) 2006 $77,699.29 (senior) Company 3 (non-tech startup, 5 full-time employees. OK benefits. Small amount of stock.) 2007 $114,465.95 (senior) 2008-2012 $77,529.03 (senior, pay cut after investments were cut) Company 4 (~120 employees, ad firm. Goodish benefits. No stock.) 2013 $100,000 (mid-level) 2014 $110,000 (senior) Not only do company sizes, upward trajectories, educational background, company industry, etc. impact earnings, but where you are in relation to business cycles and booms/busts really matter.
