Biggest salary increase you've ever had?

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Last financial year I made $153k (AUD), the previous year would have been around $90k, good job change that one (and I got retrenched ha ha)

I turned down the biggest offer I got which would've paid $2900 more per annum than my old job.

When I first entered the healthcare industry I was on $4.5k/month.
Changed company 2 years later to earn $9k/month.
Changed company 4 years later to earn $17k/month.

Good to move up the career ladder

Biggest salary increase was 33% when I acquired a higher position in my current company (which I fucked over 3 people to get)

That was a few years ago, since then I have purchased two properties and pretty much have my daughters college money ready

Everyone in the mayberry is clearing at least 100k a year easily.

I have had a few. Largest was when I left my small business to my partner and went back into corporate America. Our last year I literally made about 30k and lived off savings. My first year with my new company I made 167k. I was out of debt in a few months and saved after that.

Last year our tribe council finally approved a $2.5 salary increase for all employees in our congregation. I only received a $1.5 bump for some reason.

It's a whole different game when a gigolo goes from young women to old, rich widows.

I own listerine stocks but the money is worth it

 

[AznTrojan]

$50k resident salary -> $400k+ real dr moneys

hell yeah.. i remember that feeling... to pay more taxes in your 1st year as an attending than you made as a resident/fellow.. feels good

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Moved to North Dakota 6 years ago; went from less than 40k a year to 90k in 9 months, with 3 months off over the winter getting paid unemployment. I shoulda been out here 5 years earlier.

fracking?

 

[HIMBOB]

34% within the same company,
47% with change of company.

 

[splendica]

This year: 4.3% cost of living increase in April. Then in August 11.1% in our department due to retirements and a couple of other people leaving for other companies. 14.4% overall. Was cool.

In 2016 I was given a 75k raise, which was a pretty huge upgrade in terms of quality of life. I’ve had a couple smaller, but still pretty substantial increases since then, but my lifestyle hasn’t quite caught up to the raise from 2016, so they’ve all basically gone right into savings.

 

[Oblivian]

I think I made more than $20,000.00 more this year vs. last due to profit sharing. It just depends how good the year is.

 

[misterfurious]

fracking?

I’m in the oilfield, just not directly involved in drilling. Started out running bulldozer for a sand and gravel outfit, then bought a truck and trailer and now haul gravel and scoria. I haul to quite a few wellsites.

 

[Mcmoon]

Just accepted a new job and it will be a 50% pay increase when just comparing base pay. I also get a 5% bonus. I will have the ability to be promoted within 6 months to a year which will probably bump me another 10k or so.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Went from $40k to $65k

I was gonna say going from no job to my first job then realized my first job was only $24k a year lol
