You don't like being at the beck and call of clients, but want to join a VC firm?

That was an incredible article, but my personal experience with internal salary negotiations early in my career was very different. I was able to double my salary twice in a couple of years by going in exactly with the value of the projects on worked and knowing my actual value in the market without having to leave.

I suppose industry, location, and employer will make a huge difference in the outcome of these discussions.

I mean, what was your starting salary? For a lot of professions that'd be you making six figures with 3-4 years of experience which sounds pretty high for most fields. I'm talking about normal places as well, not mega high cost of living cities where making 70k is getting by.

In tech or engineering, if you're not making six figures you're doing something horribly wrong.

Cool, that's two whole professions and their starting salaries are high enough that you aren't going to have it double twice in a 5 years except in extreme fringe cases.

Doesn't that require like 10 years of tests?

No. I would say 5-6 on the mid-high end with a couple of those years in college. It took me 2.5-3 with one of them in college (some time spent waiting in between required seminars so I don't count it all as study time)

Everything I've heard/read says longer. I also found this thing which seems to suggest that:

I don't mean to sound flippant, but I'm surprised there are circles where VLOOKUP is a "skill;" I mean it takes liek 2 minutes to read the documentation and understand how it works. And pivot tables are pretty much just point-and-click.

You'd probably be blown away how many people press the copy button and then press the paste button.

Payroll administrators basically never make less than $50,000 a year where I am and one that knows actual VBA would be some kind of superman never seen before.
