I hear you. I also have exactly 19 years in this industry. I've had "senior" in my titles for most of that time, and I've never received an offer higher than $105k base, even in the Seattle area. I'd get more than that if I returned to Microsoft, but when I started there in '05 they offered $80k.
- monaghanboy 9y agoHow often did you switch jobs? At 3.5 years of experience in Seattle I was making in the $140-150K range base, and this is at a struggling startup with an non-viable business model. I'd think that if you stayed at mostly the same jobs, you can't expect to get meaningful salary increases. My own experience contradicts this though; got a 15K bump and 17K bump at my last two jobs respectively in a single promotion at each (both in Seattle).
