Not very many people start with a 250k starting comp. Typically about 1/5th to 1/3rd of that.

- tomrod 4y agoI didn't gather that from your first comment, only that you didn't believe the distribution could increase by 620%. Which, when you start in the top ~7% of individual income in the US, is probably true for income (wealth as a whole is another matter).[0] [0] https://www.investopedia.com/personal-finance/how-much-income-puts-you-top-1-5-10/ https://www.investopedia.com/personal-finance/how-much-incom...
- UncleMeat 4y agoThe key thing I'm trying to get across here is that it isn't the hopping that brings this sort of increase, it is simply working at one of the very high paying companies in a high paying region. Zero hops, one hop, and seven hops can all get you there. Telling people to focus on the seven hops is misleading, IMO.
