> I was at 60k when I started, but on my second job almost doubled my salary, and still got a significant increase in my second change.

Doesn't your previous comment actually confirm this statement? You took a HIB job paying a wage that did not accurately reflect your skill level and your ability to move up in wage scale so easily is a clear indication of that fact.
