How much more do you make now than when you started your current job?

[Gunslinger08]

Not talking about job hopping. Just from the time you started your current job until today.

At Hynix they gave me a modest raise after a year, but the initial salary was good enough I didnt need it.
Then we went out of business.

At Tektronix they refused to give me a raise and the salary was low enough I couldnt afford to stay in Beaverton anymore. So I left.

 

[gar3555]

no raise for 1.5 years now, 10% pay decrease for the last 8 months. Remind me why I'm still here?

 

[TheNinja]

~35% in 10 years. Not that great I guess, but not horrible. Most of that was in the first 4-5 years though, been on a freeze since then.

 

[ThePresence]

I now make $20k more + full health insurance for my family.

 

[clamum]

Started just over 3 years ago at $15/hour, I make $19/hour now. So like 26% more I think?

 

[GhettoPeanut]

i went from part time to full time salary, so, the jump was pretty significant. been here 8 years.

 

[Drako]

I make less now. Started here 2 years ago, and we had a mandatory 5% pay cut last year. We also had 20 employees last year, and are now down to 11 - still waiting for that stimulus package to kick in

 

[joesmoke]

6 years - around 12k more annually than when i started

 

[AstroManLuca]

Practically nothing, but I've only been here since early 2008, so that's to be expected. I got a 2% raise after one year and no raise after the second year. I'm just glad to have a job and no pay cut!

 

[Gibson486]

I make $0 more. No raise in 2 years.

 

[highland145]

Started at zero $$, so infinity?

 

[GhettoPeanut]

Started at zero $$, so infinity?

haha, yeah, now that i think about it, it was in internship at first, so yeah, where's the infinity option.

 

[Gooberlx2]

I'm supposed to get a 3-4% CoL and performance raise, but I haven't seen it yet. :\

 

[Tea Bag]

6 years, 41%. Basically started as a fulltime intern at the lowest job level that paid and gradually rose to the salary of my peers (I would assume, I haven't asked).

 

[CountZero]

Been here three years. Had an across the board 5% pay cut ~1.5 years ago and that's the extent of my salary changes. It beats the 100% pay cut several people got but still sucks.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

10 year ... Pay is now about 2x higher

 

[dfuze]

roughly 2.25 x more after almost 15 yrs

 

[Hacp]

I just got a raise the other day. Woohoo.

 

[InflatableBuddha]

2 years. Up about 9% ($3500) and about to get another 4-5% raise.

Will still be significantly underpaid even when the raise takes effect.

 

[PricklyPete]

30% increase in the 3 years I've been with my current company.

 

[mcurphy]

~35% in 10 years. Not that great I guess, but not horrible. Most of that was in the first 4-5 years though, been on a freeze since then.

Not bad if you average it out to 3.5% per year. The last 2 companies I worked for only gave out a 3% increase per year unless you promoted.

 

[dud]

OP, you should consider the fact that some people stay at their jobs for a LONG time. With me it would be almost 600% over many years ...

 

[bfdd]

1 1/2 years went from 40 to 45
