I jumped up 50K from my last job. If you add together the salary I got in all three years at my last job, it still wouldn't equal what I make now!! Chat Icon I can't believe I stayed at the last place soo long for peanuts!!!

Luvsun, what is the formula again?

Is is

(current salary - first salary) / (new salary)

x 100

Is that the percentage increase? My brain is fried today and I'm second guessing myself ...

(current salary - starting salary)/starting salary *100

My salary has almost tripled since 1995. But my first job was in publishing - a low paying industry.

Re: Salary Spinoff - POLL: How much more do you make than your first job?

I make 150% more than I did when I started...
However, there was a time when I made 400% more- but that was during the internet boom- and I'm sure I wasn't worth that much money only 3 years out of school!!!

276% but that's over 11 years.

I started in Catholic school and am teaching in the lowest paying district in Nassau with a Masters plus 60 credits. It should be so much more considering I completed all of that extra course work.Chat Icon

Re: Salary Spinoff - POLL: How much more do you make than your first job?

I'm actually making less than I did at my first real job. But to do what I do at the company I work for I'm doing "great" (according to some recruiters Chat Icon ). I'm not complaining because I absolutely love my company and I found my dream career...10 years from now I'll be making a LOT more...so it's worth it. Chat Icon
