Inflation. Remember inflation. I'm old enough (and from a non-wealthy enough place) to think 6 figures was basically superwealthy. Part of me still feels like I make more money than could be imaginable. Another part of me thinks- you are so so underpaid. Honestly I think it's smart to pay huge paychecks to out of college grads. Incentivize them. "Manage consulting"? Yeah, sounds like bullshit, especially from a group of people largely defined by having no life nor practical experience. But heck yes, pay the promising ones money, and find out. Many of the long experienced folk in any position are going to draw huge salaries simply for "experience" while only semi-covertly being more jaded, having endured more being broken in by a useless impotent system that can't manage them or put them to good use- get fresh people, throw them into shit, hope they don't know any better & don't see all the constraints & difficulty. Heck yeah. Very avante-garde.
