This is quite shocking and I am sure it’s not a pattern. My compensation has doubled roughly 6 years over similar period in inflation adjusted dollars and I have considered it as slow growth. Note that most of this is without climbing up management ladder. Most of my friends have also experienced doubling every 5-7 years as far as I can. There are few folks who haven’t moved much but that’s usually because they didn’t kept up with tech or kept chasing next startup or find non dev roles where they can excel. Living in SF/bay below $200K is quite unimaginable these days.
