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

[soulcougher73]

Started at $33,600/year
Now at $51505/year

Been here 5 years as of last month.

So almost 35%

 

[KIAman]

5 years, 112% from my original pay.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

27.2%, just over 3 years

 

[yllus]

5 years, 31% increase.

 

[pontifex]

started at $15.00/hour
dropped to $14.63 + 6% differential, so technically I make slightly more, at about $15.50/hour.

 

[iGas]

Been with current employer only 6 weeks and my wage went up by 12%.

I'm up 385.9% since I stated out on this career path.

 

[Bignate603]

15% in 2 years, probably less than 12% after you factor in the raised costs of our benefits.

 

[mav451]

22% after 3 years. Meh. The 1st year raise was huge cuz I was below market rate FTL. Pretty much at the middle of the curve though since. *shrug*

 

[Miramonti]

80% less than when I started, 11 yrs. self-employed.

 

[Jumpem]

47% higher over four years.

 

[Zargon]

started at 29, now at 41+ OT

thats over 7.5 years, not alot of big raises in government, 41%? or does my math suck?

thats cost of living adjustments + 5% longevity for not getting canned

start a new job in late august though, making 54

 

[rh71]

considering the 15% pay cut they made us take? After 10 years I'm barely above what I started at... those m'fuggers. It's comfy though.

 

[Imp]

One 2% annual increase and one 2.5%-ish merit increase. Overall, about an extra grand a year.

 

[Jeff7]

1yr 2 months at current job.
Pay is the same now as it was when I started.
The entire company's been on a wage freeze for awhile.

 

[nageov3t]

just about double, but I started relatively low (30k)

 

[Rage187]

Just under 50% more in 4.5 years. That was without a raise in 2009; 4 promotions and 3 performance raises. I should get another promotion early next year and then also qualify for quarterly bonuses; last year they were very significant.

 

[child of wonder]

Only been at my current job 4 months but since I'm a consultant I have a plan mapped out on certs to pursue in the next 18 months. With each cert I get a bump in pay. If I follow the plan I'll make 13% more than I do now by the end of next year.

Since my company will reimburse travel, training, and other expenses to get the certs I'd say that's a pretty good deal.

 

[lokiju]

Wow, just calculated it out and it's 42%.

Never even realized it

But I was promoted to higher level after my first year and have received decent raises usually as well.

I'm really hoping for a promoting next review also.

 

[uclabachelor]

I'd say 2x - 4x for me, but I'm self employed now whereas I was employed for my first full time job.

 

[goog40]

0% but it'll be +20% soon.

 

[Spikesoldier]

3% after 18 months

 

[amdhunter]

$3.50

 

[RPD]

+40%, but I went from salary to commission.

 

[gooseman]

I will have been here 15 years in Sept. I now make a little over 3X as much as when I started.

 

[maddogchen]

+55% in 5 years
