In the real world, people work about 42 years. With 11 years, you've just finished the first quarter. GP spoke about the latter part of one's career.

- thoughtpalette 4y agoGP talked about 20+ years, without knowing, they could either be halfway through their career, or nearing the end. Also assuming they started their career immediately instead of at a later time in life. 11 years in the (relatively young) tech industry is quite the tenure at this point, _imo_. My point was that the market is hot. Hot enough for an 11 year "veteran" to still get a 39% increase. Also want to point out I've "hopped" as many jobs in about as many years. Some people coming into the industry get taken advantage of compensation wise for a multitude of reasons just to get their foot in the door. I also strongly believe in skill stagnation at certain companies and hopping is the only way out. Again, none of these arguments really matter as it comes down to individual experiences.
