Where are tech salaries 2x 10 years ago? Mine is nowhere close to that.


Comparing new grad compensation packages from the elite (sought after by the big employers) schools suggests close to 2x.


Boston area seems to be +50% to +75% in 10 years, like role to like role. That's a CAGR of 5% to 6%. It only takes a CAGR of 7.2% to double in 10 years.

It would be easy for someone who was 2-3 years into their career to now be making double at 10+ years' experience, a couple promotions, and a 50-75% overall salary inflation figure.
