VP at a local corp

bachelors only.  masters and phds are a waste of time if more income is your goal...as you can tell by the 14 pages of replies.

Well I don't know about that - not everyone disclosed having one. I'm at $190, and was at $90K before I got my masters, 3 years ago. So in  3 years, I've doubled my pre advanced degree salary, to say nothing of the $150k or so in sign on bonuses I got. Plus of course, I'm on a completely different income trajectory now. It all depends what you do with your degree.

How did you triple your salary in 3 years? Did you stay at the same company? What field are you in? What was your master in?[/quote]

Doubled... not tripled...

MBA, fancy pants east coast school.

Pre MBA salary was $90K. Post MBA salary first job out was $110K with a $40K sign on bonus. End of year I was rated exceptional, salary bump pushed me to $115K. I asked for a bigger raise, they said no and I immediately left, got a $100K sign on bonus at new firm, salary bumped to $125K out of the gate. Then add in some good ratings and two promotions back to back, and bingo presto, $190K.

The honest answer as to how is: 1. I went to a 'prestigious' school that - rightly or wrongly - is rewarded with high starting salaries and affords you credibility 2. a lot of dumb luck, 3. getting 'tapped' by executive leadership and 4. a little hard work.
