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 started at 32k

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.

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

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

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

That would be super moral if that was the reason.

Which fits... from what I've seen of @wirestyle22
-
It's half of the reason. The other half is I was miserable and I mean that as much as I possibly can. Absolute misery.
