My career has been a bit all over, but I started off as a pre-med, then data science and now slowly transitioning into a more software engineer role.
2016-2018: ~24k (grad school stipend)
2018: 65k (research assistant at startup)
2019: 100k (new job as data scientist)
2020: 110k (got a raise)
2021: 120k- 146k (raises)
2022: 146k-190k (new job as software engineer)
2023: 190k
Not sure what the future will hold for me to be honest. By the numbers, my current salary is very good, but due to lifestyle changes (growing family, bigger house, etc.) my current salary feels like less fun money than my first job! Hoping to get a promotion this year and then see how things move from there.
I’d be interested in hearing from more tech people on here about their salary growth as well.
How have your responsibilities changed as you grew your income? Things like more people and project managing compared against individual contributions?
