I went from an individual contributor to management at 34. My job title is Vice President but I work somewhere where our titles are inflated.

Senior Manager on cusp of Director at 33. Decided that I wanted to be the highest paid individual contributor I could be. Back to grad school at 34. New job at 39 and literally today at 50 it goes into effect that I am at the highest tier of individual contributor in my company. (Salary band goes to 180). I direct the work of others but I don't have to deal with the people management aspects. And, I have more flexibility and influence than I imagined politically. I fought hard to not have to be on a ladder, but to get paid enough and have enough autonomy.

Director at 36, health policy organization. Haven’t made the leap higher because I made a lateral move to another company.

DH made director at 30 in retail; 200k. Usually route is 2-3 years for Senior Director and then 3-4 more for VP at his company.

I am still a lowly manager making 220k.


What jobs? This is why titles don't mean anything...

Bad question because those titles mean different things at different places. Talented specialist professional individual contributors are more achieving than directors of undifferentiated workers.
