    A few Qs because I hate myself:

    • what is your base salary?
    • what is your pay currently?
    • do you amend your base salary calculations when you get a raise?
    • also what do you do that gives you a 20% raise every year?

      I’m conflicted on giving numbers, by default it feels like an unintended flex. But hey, it’s the fire community and we love numbers so…

      • $150k
      • complicated, but has averaged $750k the last few years
      • I don’t, this was a factoid, I concentrate on expenditures
      • tech in finance, mostly leading teams and managing people

        Thanks for your candid response!

        However it does confirm that I will never see these numbers in my lifetime.

          I doubt it means much, but the first 12 years of my career were on a more modest path. Luck and opportunity have an outsized impact. The only “smart” thing I did was leave a comfortable job for a higher stress one, but that’s probably survivorship bias talking.
