[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the year 2019 and we are coming off a ten year BULL Market.

Some older folks had to deal with 1987-1992 (zero raises, lay offs), 2000-2003 (zero raises, lay offs) and 2008-2010) zero raises lay offs.

At your young age of 33 you missed the first two recessions and the 2008 recession as just starting out you were lower paid and new and not in firing line.

Most salary jumps come is splurts and then goes flat in periods.  I am older, but in last Boom around 2006 I was right age to make leap to corner office in a new company, I timed it right as the crash came two years later and managed not to get laid off and in 2017 next boom cycle did it again at a new company.  [b]It is musical chairs. And a pyramid scheme. For every 55 year old at work there are ten 25-45 year olds. Guess what all the 25-45 year olds will live to 55 except there are not many VP and above jobs in office. You are 37 and cocky, but at 55 when you are making 600K there will be another 37 year old cocky guy to take your job,[/b][/quote]

Truer words have never been said

Signed, 38 yo cocky professional [/quote]
