      Each job I've taken, except for the job I have now was a raise of at least 15k a year.

      15K seems to be a lot (IMO) but I could just be completely getting screwed lol. . .

      i think it depends on where you start.

            My first was similar. More though, maybe $23K. Which sounds trivial but is a lot of money when that is what you make 🙂 It was entry level Solaris support.

              My first one wasn't that long ago. I was doing everything but title at a high school. Left after a year because I was doing everything and kept getting thrown under the bus by my manager. I think I was making ~$40k

                I think my first job (started as a file clerk) and transition into desktop support I was making 20K, so I suppose.

                The numbers just seem large for a 15K between job moves. Not including annual raises etc.

                  I was 16K my second move and 10K my third.

                      I got about a 10% raise ~$4k when I made my recent switch.

                        And you've had 4 jobs correct? So you're at or around 77K currently, correct?

                        Is the cost of living so high that you feel you desktop support starts at that range?

                          I jumped to 90 but took a paycut to 50 where i currently work. The reality is I couldn't do the job I was hired to do. Sad fact. Remember, 15k was the minimum not every jump.

                            As I said, my first job was 20K, but with OT I was pulling near 30K. So my internal department change at that company was a 10K raise to $30K. A year later another $5k bump. 6 months after that I left and went to a consulting company where I moved from $35K > $55K.

                                I left. I easily could've milked it for awhile but it just wasn't the honest thing to do

                                      Depends on the jobs and the jumps. But that's not uncommon. In between "real" jobs, I went from $23K to $40K to $55K to $200K to $350K to an offer of a much more significant jump 😉

                                        Now the question is why?

                                        1. I hated the way everyone, not even just myself was treated. Every director there had their resume's out. We were all miserable.

                                        2. I didn't have the knowledge required to completely re-create their infrastructure, which was basically what was required at that point.

                                        I really don't want to talk about this point in my life. It was arguably the darkest point I've had, truly. Laura saw me literally waste away in a matter of months.

                                          I started at 32k

                                          And you've had 4 jobs correct? So you're at or around 77K currently, correct?

                                          Is the cost of living so high that you feel you desktop support starts at that range?

                                          I jumped to 90 but took a paycut to 50 where i currently work. The reality is I couldn't do the job I was hired to do. Sad fact. Remember, 15k was the minimum not every jump.

                                          Couldn't do what job? the last one at 90? So you quit or they let you go?

                                          I left

                                          Now the question is why?

                                          Because he didnt want to be a leech?

                                          That would be super moral if that was the reason.

                                            Which fits... from what I've seen of @wirestyle22
