31. 10x-ing My Salary over 10 years ($30K to $340k)

36 minutes

In my first job ever post college, I was paid $30K. After 10 years in industry, I was able to more than 10 fold my corporate salary, to an ending compensation of $340K. From $30K, to $53K, to $90K, and onwards.... I talk through all the different odds and ends I've done to get to this point, and the lessons and mindset it took to make those shifts.

I share this openly because I know that if it's possible for me, it's also possible for you. This level of abundance is available to you, and it starts with adjusting your mindset.

Here's my salary trajectory:

2006: $6.25/hour

2006-2010: $10-$12/hour

2010: $30k, this was my first ever "real job" post graduating college

2011: total comp ~$53k, inside sales job with commission.

2012: total comp $90k ($40/hour, with overtime)

2013: total comp starting $158k, ending at $178k ($120K to $130K base, with a 32% bonus)

2016: total comp $161k ($140k base with a 15% bonus)

2016-2020: $150k to $167k base, 35% bonus
