I'm not sure I understand. What is the point you're making? Why is it hard to catch up? What's stopping someone in a mid or low TC band from switching to another company and increasing their TC?
- akhilcacharya 7y agoSwitching usually means a downlevel or a lateral level transition (extremely rare that someone uplevels from a switch) which limits the upside. You'd always be tied to your prior TC in some way and the effects compound.
- oarabbus_ 7y agoSo? Is the point you're making that you won't be the highest paid employee in a company? Your TC is tied to your prior TC, which is tied to your internships and college, which is tied to your high school performance. Might as well take it down to kindergarten. If you're not a child prodigy, then you won't be the most talented, highest-paid employee. I'll never understand this mindset.
