How does it compare to industry average today?

Those numbers are highly tied to an independent event (your first salary, you could be a better negotiator today) and have been changed by inflation



My initial salary was pretty low, I started at a small company in a small market not near any tech hubs. But like I said, I think it would have been hard to network my way up without LinkedIn. All of my peers were making about what I was.


Inflation in a developed country for the past 14 years would account very very little for a 400% increase in salary.


Yes but that plus 14 years of experience will add up to at least half if not most, super depends on that starting number. But really a comparison to today's numbers is most telling
