Compensation Thread: what was your yearly progression?

CommodKings

Unreal. Any general tips for those trying to have similar progression as you?

It’s a combo of luck and skills (although I do believe you can make your own luck in a way). As you can see, my career was a bit of a grind and I didn’t get to the big $$ until later. Outside of being good at your job (obvious…) when I was breaking in I 1) always asked questions and tried to learn as much as possible 2) never had a job that was “beneath me”, I jumped at almost every opportunity possible and 3) I found mentors that were going to help me (and show me where I was struggling) but also advocate for me and give me the opportunities I wanted. Honestly, having struggled early on made me much more driven but also didn’t make me scared to fail, and I think that helped.
