Wow y'all have some crazy high numbers. Memphis TN (on the low end of the US cost-of-living scale), all at the same place. Early 2007 (right out of college): ~$48k (hourly equiv., contractor) Late 2007: $51k (salary, "real colleague") ...(no notes... IIRC there were like 2 promotions in there, a couple percent standard raise the other years)... 2013: $81k ... 2017: $96k (promotion / transfer) I also started with 4 weeks PTO (up to a hair over 6 now), which I hear is a fair bit higher than usual. OTOH it's a privately held company, which means there's no such thing as stock options.
