my career path: every salary I've earned in my 20's

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Hello! Welcome to another sit-down video where I go through every job and wage/salary I’ve had in my 20's so far. In making this, I wanted to contribute to the conversation around salary transparency and hopefully inspire others to get more comfortable talking about financial topics. Unfortunately, I was having crazy allergies (hence the red, swollen eyes) while filming this and also coming down with the flu...so apologies if my energy fell a little flat!
The book I mentioned, Financial Feminist by Tori Dunlap, was a huge catalyst in my interest in financial literacy, and I encourage you to check it out!
Financial Feminist book: amzn.to/4bvXj1S
Talking about money can feel vulnerable- and I definitely feel a bit vulnerable in sharing this! But it’s also important to remember that the amount of money you have/make in no way correlates to your value as a person.
Thank you so much for joining me, and I hope you enjoyed the video!

I was expecting a person to flex their career on youtube. I ended up finding a transparent, honest and talented person sharing some insightful info. Thanks for sharing!
Aw, thank you for watching! :)
Transparent. Honest. Talented. What all management want
This!
I have immense respect for people that grinded through the sub $10/hr wages. Something most people won't even consider nowadays.
Why would you when the price of everything else went up? Your expectations for your wage should go up
or something that most ppl can’t afford
I was getting 8 an hour 😭
this was probably the most normal salary progression I have seen. thank you.
Thanks for watching!!
My exact thoughts! Makes me feel better about my career having fallen apart during the pandemic. :'(
Yea I was waiting for her to go from $9.25 to 500K a year.
Thanks for sharing, Sabrina! It feels like we always see videos about people in their 20’s making $100k+ which is kind of unusual. It’s refreshing to see a more typical salary progression!
Thanks for watching!
yes!!! Those videos always rise to the surface, maybe because we all wish we were like that but this video is more realistic and makes me feel more “normal”
This was really interesting to watch as a college student starting to enter the work world, thank you for sharing! I quite agree that salaries and job progression are not discussed enough even though these conversations are very beneficial for those with less financial education.
What did you study in college, only if you don't mind sharing? And how much have you found it impacted your career path?
Hey Julia! Thanks for watching, I’m really glad you found it interesting :) In college I majored in English language and literature. I originally chose this because I was considering going to law school (then I changed my mind) and I think it was still beneficial in the sense that it helped me refine a lot of the skills that I use for my job today (research and writing being the biggest). I think the most important thing is learning how to market the skills you build in college to future employers! Let me know if you have more questions I’m always happy to answer!
Great to watch this as someone a couple of decades into my career - we never had such transparency or information when I was starting out. Everything was just opaque and money was not to be discussed. Thanks for creating, I have no idea why the algorithm put this in front of me but was amazing to watch!
Thanks for watching I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I started at 12 an hour in 2014 in high school. Currently I’m at 28.90 an hour. 62k net a year working half the year at factory 12 hour shifts. I don’t even know what I want to do anymore. I just want to retire but I’m only 26 years old.
I totally feel you. It's really frustrating to have to center life around work. A big part of why I was inspired to start doing youtube videos was because I wanted to feel inspired creatively again after realizing that no matter how hard I worked at my job it was only going to do so much for me, and I was going to have to find fulfillment, purpose, and joy elsewhere. It's a journey, and not an easy one, but I'm wishing you the best :)
Depends where you live and what cost of living is. Save your money and get a position that pays more. A "high income" is the best financial tool you can have - 120k is the minimum. The most important thing is to maximize your savings per month and dump all the money you aren't investing into a high yield savings account.
Unless you have some way to make a ton of money quickly, you should be able to retire by 40 and live off the interest from your savings if you do it correctly. It takes a lot of discipline and you have to be in for the grind.
You lost me at high yield savings account. That should be where you keep a 6-12 month emergency fund. Any money saved after that should be put towards low cost blue chip index funds that closely track markets such as the S&P 500, Nasdaq, etc.
@@KSWKREWHYSA's can be found with rates around 6% right now. The market may outperform that, but that's not a bad (conservative) average return to expect from the market over the long run, and the funds in a HYSA are protected from economic downturns which is especially helpful for someone who needs low-risk financial vehicles for things like saving for a house down payment, etc.
This video popped everytime in my recommanded glad i gave it a click. I was thinking a salary over 60k or 70k but very humble at 51k and reflex the reality of the situation. Good job !
Sabrina, I hope you do well. It will be tough at the moment but you seem like you’ve been focused on the right path. No distractions in the way at all. Please keep us updated. I make 60k a year doing the trades, I honestly regret it. After watching this I realized I’m not alone. Best of luck! 🎉😊
Thank you for watching :) Best of luck to you too!!
This was inspiring, I've been thinking about doing a video like this for a while too, cause the more info that's available the better.
I'd need to calculate for inflation, but I think my yearly salary when I first started working (18yo) was less than 5k/year (Uruguay, so cost of living and all that is different, but still SUPER low). I'm at 120k/year now and it was quite a ride (cashier at a supermarket, phone support, marketing, software development, etc)
Thank you! And please do I'd love to watch if you made one!
You’re gonna get the best, of course; Just keep being optimistic!! Wish you the best
Thank you!
Soooo refreshingly honest!
I love this, the raw reality of career growth
Thank you :)
Loved learning
Appreciate the salary transparency 👍

I just hit the subscribe button to your channel since I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing your story here 😊
Thank you for subscribing!!
I got a $10K per year salary increase every year over 5 years, then hit a near dead stop... now I'm struggling to find anything available that I'm an expert at, there's too many people in the field.
I thought the salary progression would be something astronomical based on how social media is. Great to see somebody else working on improvement and performing about the same as myself. It can feel discouraging when a person says they went from 10k to 500k in two years. lol
Sabrina I once bought a Canadian Maple leaf Gold 1 ounce coin true story well I took this gold coin that cost me $300 Dollars and showed it off to co- workers at work and the female and guys co-workers all wanted to buy the coin from me and they kept bothering me about the coin I told them that the coin meant so much to me but a guy even followed me to the car parking lot and he begged me to sell him my coin and finally I gave in and sold him my cherished coin and now it's just a memory.
You are a champion!
Nice honest video 😊 i’m happy not caring about what people earn… the energy you waste comparing salary as a measure of your own value is detracting from your quality of life. Work because you want to, make your own decision about what fair pay looks like, and ignore everyone else. Who cares! Think about it. It’s a stupid concept.
Great video!
Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks for watching :)
i just want to say, your eyes are beautiful
damn this girl is me
8:02. Your company doesn't to merit based raises? That is one of the most absurd things I have heard and extremely toxic.
Want to really emphasis this, you NEED to leave that job. You deserve better.
I agree that it's time for me to move on! Thank you :)
What state do u live in to work these wages
Most of the jobs have been in Michigan with the exception of the one barista job in NYC. My last role is remote but based out of Massachusetts
how did you find your communications internship and the following positions from there?
Someone shared a posting with me for an open communications internship they saw on LinkedIn. It was posted by someone they went to school with so they gave me a recommendation! I still had to go through an intense interview process, but I think the recommendation probably helped get me an interview slot! As for the following positions, I found those on LinkedIn as well in the job openings section.
8:05 ALL and I mean ALL companies do merit based raises. That just seems like an HR excuse or maybe you didn't quantify your merit well enough. Keep trying!
Background music is too loud
Thank you for the feedback! Will make sure to turn it down in the next one :)
Trading time for money is never a great idea. For me I learned to make money independently from a job. So where am I today? Well my current base hourly rate is $1,105.40 per hour and is increasing by around $50-100 more per hour per month. Just listening to you I say hanging with your boyfriend isn’t doing much for you. My girlfriend has learned a lot from me and now also lives financially independent. So who you hang with can have a big influence on your life and financial success. Don’t settle for working time for money. You will never be wealthy. ❤
What you do?
@@ericmartinez8268I used to be a semiconductor design engineer making about $230k per year in salary. I gave that up to focus on 100% of my time investing in the financial markets. I had some really successful investments in the early day. Some bring in profits of $4m to $5m. Since then it’s gotten pretty ridiculous with huge flows of money in every month. I was really wasting my time working a regular job. But I didn’t know at the time, oh well.
All women should make a million per year regardless of their job.
strong and independent women are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to salary.
Huh ? She is earning well now and her boyfriend is top earner too. Y’all lonely moids coping hard
Strong and independent are earning more than average m a l e, you moids can’t cope with that Lmao
@@ExpoGotcha 51k is earning well? Wtf r you smoking
@@PSOpwnage yes 51 k plus her IG sponsorship is good for where she is living
@@ExpoGotcha if you think 51k is good money youre on heroin. Its not 1992 anymore.
Hey Sabrina! I can see your channel popping! The algorithm showed your video to me. It was refreshing to see your journey! Don’t forget to open a Roth.
MC
Thank you! And yes I do have a Roth :) Appreciate it!!
Here is my wage/salary progression:
2013: $7.35/hr (part-time high school job)
2014: $20/hr (summer college job)
2015: $20/hr (summer college job)
2016: $12/hr (summer internship)
2017: $37,000 (full-time employment - starting May)
2018: $38,000 (full-time employment)
2019: $$39,000 => $55,000 (full-time employment)
2020: $55,000 (full-time employment - until August)
2021: $0 (unpaid summer law school internship)
2022: $3,700 bi-weekly (summer law school internship)
2023: $225,000 + $20,000 bonus (stub year associate at law firm)
2024: $225,000 + $20,000 bonus (1st year associate at law firm)
2025 (Guaranteed Lockstep Increase): $235,000 + $30,000 bonus (2nd year associate at law firm)
I can assure that you made the right decision turning down the communications assistant position at the law firm. As you mentioned, the ability to work entirely remote is huge given the uncertainty of how long you'd be in NYC. But even if you didn't move to Michigan, I think you would still be happier with the content writer position. I'm assuming the communications assistant position is related to marketing. You would have likely had to deal with internal and hierarchical firm politics that are unique to the law firm setting. This will vary from firm to firm. But as a newly licensed lawyer, working at a law firm in a non-J.D. position as a young professional seems absolutely miserable unless it's in HR, recruitment, or IT.
I'm curious - in retrospect, if you had taken the law firm position, how much of an impact do you think the hybrid in-person requirement would have on your decision to move to Michigan?
Thank you so much for sharing your progression! I agree that content writing was the right path for me. While law is an intriguing field (I had briefly planned on going to law school), the more I learned about it the more confident I became that it ultimately wasn't for me.
If I had taken the hybrid role, I think it would have probably forced us to stay in New York. I'm ultimately really grateful for the way things played out though... we moved to Michigan, got a house, and now realize that even if New York costs more, it's where we want to be :) We'll be moving back with a new appreciation for it for sure!
so refreshing to hear someone making an actual normal salary instead of all these “i make $250k a year as a 23 year old!”
Ugh yah I can't stand this one guy who tried to tell me that 90k was poor. He's 20.
That’s cause you’ve been watching finance and tech jobs. She’s in a different industry
Exactly@@briannguyen1134
They’re usually trying to sell you something 😅
@@emilyau8023He may live in a high cost of living area
As other people have mentioned, much respect for someone sharing a more realistic salary progression. So often, as social media is, people flaunt these big jumps in lucrative careers and not accounting for things such as cost of living. Good job.
Thank you for watching :)
7:57 “our company doesn’t do merit-based raises”
What a scam. Why would anyone work hard for such a company?
Agreed! I used to put in so much effort...now I give the bare minimum at work and put my energy towards things that I actually care about.
I feel that most companies don't do "merit-based raises" even if they say they do.
Especially in the tech or defense contract sectors - it's all about who you know and how much rapport you have built with your network.
The linkedin mill can help you find those jobs if you disregard all the recruiters spamming you with s1ave wage positions.
just learning slaving for a faceless corp gets you no where?
@@PSOpwnage better than being slave wive that the husband will give stds to
@@Roshea thats not correct. Tech is all about progressing and promotion through experience and skills. Getting into a company or a role though often times is beneficial to have a network,
Man we need more transparency like this about salary. A lot of us in our 20s are struggling with how expensive shit is and people just aren’t paying a ton. I had a similar experience at my job where I asked for a raise and they shut me down saying “no one really asks for raises here.” Really sucks. Companies just aren’t concerned with paying employees their worth anymore.
Thts why people job hop every 2 years
@@CVworkshop shit i will job hop every 8mo-1yr if i have to. Like if i start out performing employees that have been here 10 yrs i better be seeing at minimum another dollar
Im 30 heres my progression all in USD
2015 - 54.5K

Big jump in 2022 was starting own company and owning it. If you work for someone you will never make the real money
nice salary progression. what do you do
@@bbstar7 CPA. Public accounting > consulting > back to public accounting as partner
Thanks for sharing!!
What do you work in?
237k is amazing but tons of jobs make 237k base salary 5-10 years in. From data scientists to product managers to investment bankers. You wont get real money from these jobs if real money refers to millions of dollars a year.
I’m 32 working in the construction industry full time at 31.25 per hr plus benefits. I get overtime frequently which is time and a half. Blessed to finally be making a decent salary I worked hard but struggled financially in my 20’s.
You deserve more, construction workers are the backbone of society
Ayyy, my first job was also on-campus, making $9.25. I was the software dev for my school; I created the attendance tracking system used by my university.
2019: $9.6k - Software dev for my college (part time)
2020: $60k - Software dev (1st job out of college)
2022: $92.5k - Software dev (2nd full time job)
2023: $98.8k - (yearly raise)
2024: $107k - (yearly raise)
People say college is useless, but choose degrees that are useless to society. As long as you choose a degree that has a good tuition-to-salary ratio, college is the best decision you could make.
If everyone became a software engineer your salary expectations would go down. Not everyone can or should be an engineer and just because someone doesn't make a lot of money doesn't make them "useless to society."
I am a software engineer with no college degree (I didn't even go to high school) and make $185k, $40k is RSU though.
I hope everything works out for you. You seem like a hard working person that I would admire. The fact you're only 25 years old shows that you will make it to the big leauges very soon!
Wow, what a kind comment! Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it :)
Thank you for the transparency! This is always inspiring
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hi from Beth in California, 32. With the risk of sounding dumb, I want to share… my mother was visiting my house today. She is great, but she worries too much and talks about her problems - even small ones. Lol. When I put your video on TV, she was so interested in watching and listening. She is 63. When the video ended she talked about how pretty and interesting you are. It was a nice moment🙂 New subscriber! …I don’t know what you believe about yourself and your channel, friend. But please know that you are amazing and important ❤️ Beth
Hi Beth! This comment made my day; thank you so much!
Love the transparency and the willingness to share all details in your 20s. I had a similar journey as well. As long as you own your own growth and put in the work you can grow your salary to your goals!
Thank you for watching!
"We don't do merit based raises" is one of the wildest things I've ever heard.
Me too 😅
I live in Michigan too!! It’s nice finding TH-camrs that live in this state!
You have a new subscriber. ❤
Ahh so happy you found my channel :) Thanks for subscribing!!
what a breath of fresh air. There are too many gurus selling these unrealistic and inflated numbers nowadays. whats worse is that people buy it. many gurus on here selling people on "instagram" like success at 19 while somehow needing to sell you courses. Making good money by being societal filth and praying on the self deprecation of the rest thats further magnified under the social media era where people only show the good of their lives.
i'm assuming your major was communications? i've been out of school for a while and want to go back, but my main issue is having no specific major or career in mind. would you say communications allows for a broad selection of jobs?
My major was English! but, yes, communications is very similar. In my experience, a lot of jobs will look for people in a range of majors and communications, marketing, english, etc are all grouped together! The important thing is being able to "market" yourself and your skills to show how they align with your desired job :) best of luck in going back to school!!
Yes there are many opportunities for Communications majors. I agree with Sabrina, it’s how you market yourself that will ultimately help you land a job. Then with few years of work experience in your career field, your experience will speak for itself.
"we dont do performance based promotions" wat
Hahah I know, right
you mean promotions based on performance…
You are awesome. Thank you for this much-needed type of video.
Thank you for watching!!
“Our company doesn’t do merit based raises” is legitimately the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard in my life.
How do you expect to incentivize people to work at all if you don’t pay them for their performance?
Yeah honestly this was pretty garbage to hear. Can't believe a company would say something like that. Let's ensure our employees never want to perform better or contribute more! It's almost like they want the bare minimum and never want to grow lol
It incentivizes me to job hop c:
Appreciate the transparency and admire your drive to want to keep growing. It's good to be reminded that there is always somebody out there that is going through similar things.
Thank you for watching! I agree that it's nice to know you're never alone.
would love more finance videos in the future !
I’m 25 … for my behavioral tech job which I have a degree for they offered 17$ I declined and now I work at a restaurant for 23$ …. Make it make sense
Thank you for the transparency! I hope you get the opportunities to go where you'd like to go! Cheers!
Thank you for watching! And I appreciate it!!
Hi Sabrina..I would love to make a Breton Gateau for you and sip a glass of Limoncello without the alcohol I hope the Italians forgive me and let's celebrate The Culture of Western Civilization.

Thanks for sharing!
hi what job do you do now?
The VERY open honesty of this all makes it very relatable and enjoyable to watch and listen.
Just turned down a $45/hr job due to health problems. Currently making $20/hr part time😢
I'm 26 doing tower climbing for telecom companies (3 years experience) and just landed $36/hr. With the overtime I make about $100-110k a year. I'm a high school dropout with nothing more than a GED. If you're in your 20's and are hardworking get a trade and make some big boy/girl bucks with your hands and avoid all the ridiculous student loans.
That's awesome, I agree that more people need to consider learning trades!
How much money do you think average TH-cam content creators make?
In terms of whether it is a good idea to share this info with friends/family, I'd say it depends on who it is and on how much you make. If you make significantly more, some people can start acting differently towards you in negative ways. I know from experience and wish certain people didn't know because they like to act like I owe them something and guilt trip me. I'd say be careful who you share your salary with, especially when you start making more money.
Not going to lie I thought you were in your early thirties. I think you probably are not wearing sunscreen on a daily basis
I definitely look older in this video due to some eczema I was having around my eyes :/ I do wear sunscreen daily though lol
This is realistic and that's why I like this video. Many just assume Americans earn 100k$ a year. You brought me down to reality.
finally attractive girl without OF and just normal life
I'm 34 and in Australia so this is all in AUD, but it's also all including Superannuation (similar to your 401k, but it's mandatory here all employers have to pay into your fund). But thought it would be good for others who come across your video to see more salary progressions.
For context I work in IT, my first few jobs were casual. Casuals in Australia earn more per hour but it's harder to get hours. Also for the full time jobs, it's very common for full time workers in Australia to be on Enterprise Bargaining Agreements with their employers, which define annual salary increases based on CPI (the rise in the price of goods and services/inflation).
2005: $17/hr (but I could only get 7 hours a week)
2006: $19/hr (same as above)
2007: $19/hr & $12/hr (2 different jobs, both around 7 hours each)
2008: $19/hr & $10/hr (2 different jobs, just one job changed)
2009: $21/hr & $10/hr (same 2 jobs as 2008)
2010: $28k/year (First IT job)
2011: $60k/year (2nd IT job)
2012: $65k/year (same job)
2013: $68k/year (same job)
2014: $65k/year (3rd IT job, took a pay cut but better opportunity)
2015: $67k/year (same job)
2016: $72k/year (same job, got a raise)
2017: $93k/year (4th IT job)
2018: $96k/year (same job)
2019: $108k/year (5th IT job, but same business)
2020: $140k/year (6th IT job)
2021: $140k/year (7th IT job, technically took a pay cut for this, but better opportunity)
2022: $150k/year (Same job, but pay rise)
2023: $185k/year (8th IT job)
2024: $207k/year ( 9th IT job, but same business)
The main things I've learnt was to focus on career growth early on. If you find a good opportunity to learn but it's not paying that well, if you can afford to take that job you should do it anyway and gain those skills that you can use to get an even bigger pay rise from someone else later. The skills I've learnt now, will allow me to work for myself. I am still trying to gain a bit more experience in the area of IT i've specialised in so I can feel confident to lose the security of full time employment, as I am the sole income in my household with a mortgage.
Once you have a job, don't stop looking for new opportunities. As you can see during covid the market for IT workers was really hot, so I was able to jump around a lot and essentially double my pre covid income. A lot of this was just talking with recruiters fairly regularly, browsing what jobs are available. Applying for jobs that I thought I probably wasn't skilled for yet but if I did get it, it would be a big boost to my knowledge and pay. Eventually you'll land one.
Salary creep is real, try to keep your expenses the same when you move to new jobs so you can invest more as you earn more. I still have the same things and spend around the same as I did back in 2018, inflation has meant that I spend less on frivolous things than I did back in 2018, but the overall amount that I do spend is the same. The goal here is to convert the salary into assets that can generate money so I am wealthier in the future and not reliant on salary for income.
Love this! Ty for sharing-needed this motivation as I keep applying for jobs!
I remember starting $7.25 at 16 in 2015, now I’m at $83 after 2 degrees. The grind was real but well worth it😭
Hey, in case it helps someone, here is my small progression. By the way, I am from Paraguay and an Economics student, so maybe it is interesting to compare for people thinking about moving or something:
All of the amounts are yearly amounts before taxes:
2017: 4.8k - first job
2018: 1.8k - part-time online
2019: 2.2k - part-time online
2020: 5.2k - new job back in my hometown
2021: 6.0k
2022: 6.2k - new job
2023: 7.9k
2024: 14k
Living costs in my country are obviously lower than in the US, but there are fewer taxes and a lot of opportunities for educated people.
Thank you for sharing!
2020: Ice Cream shop - ~$13 per hour
2021:
1) Driver assistant for special needs children - ~15 per hour
2) Software Developer - $65k per year
2022: Software Developer (as above) + Part Time Barista - ~$70k per year
2023: New Software job - $83k per year
2024: Same as above - $86,700 per year (recently quit)
Personally, I've only recently become interested in trying to discover what it is I actually like to do instead doing what's expected. I'm far from rich, but I've made enough money to know that I've got no interest in being rich either. Hopefully I can find something that's fun and pays decently too.
Thank you for sharing! I hope you find what it is you like to do :)
Thanks Sabrina! Inspirational :)
Thanks Aman!
This was really interesting to see, guys like u share your experiences in life and especially about the personal finances and I would personally like to see more videos in this niche....
Love from 🇮🇳
I'm glad you found it interesting! I will share more in the future :) Thanks!
Great video! I'm 26 in Michigan too! It's nice to hear a more realistic example than the clickbait videos that make it sound like $100k at our age is normal.
Appreciate it :) Thanks for watching!
I'm 24 and here's my path so far:
2023 - 23/hr internship in consulting
2024 - 31/hr as a business analyst
2025 - supposed to be 33/hr (not holding breath/don't trust corporate)
Thanks for sharing and I hope you get that raise! haha
@sabrayne it's being drawn out. Not hopeful lol but thanks 💙
Edit: got the raise!
Here in cali they are paying fast food workers $20/hr minimum. I'm assuming when you were in Manhattan you had roommates.
Yes, I had three roommates! And that's awesome, it seems like that needs to be the minimum everywhere at this point
Love the video, I am a 24F in MI as well!!
Thank you for watching and ahh that's awesome! Glad you found my video :)
i like her ears
Can you make more financial videos including like expenses and maybe your bf too included as a whole 😂
Absolutely! Would be happy to :)
I really appreciate the transparency with it, the only things I notice is the concept of 'Access and Opportunity'. To which these things are crucial in being 'lucky' in certain situations. All this to say, moving with a boyfriend to Manhattan of all places is one of the luckiest things that could happen and one could argue that this move was a huge help for her journey.
I totally agree that I was super fortunate to move to Manhattan with my boyfriend-I am super grateful for this opportunity, regardless of any role it played in my salary progression. I think the true "luck" in my journey was that the person who selected my resume for the interview process at my current role went to the same university I did. I think little connections like that can play a huge role in bringing you "luck."
No merit based raises is another way to say "we want what you have to offer to the company from progressing in your current skill, but we definitely don't wanna pay you for it" 😭
Love these roast sessions
Thanks for making this video, it makes me feel alot better about where I am in college.
I appreciate this video so much! I’m 27, I finished school last year, and I feel like it’s very hard to find an ok paying job. Keep sharing your journey!
Thanks for watching! :)
This is awesome!
Your progression reminds me of myself a lot!
I'm 20 now, but I started working at 14. (technically I started at 10 working for my parents, then my Grandma, lol)
But as everyone else is saying, great work, and great video!!!
It makes me want to make one now sharing my story so far :D
Thank you!! And let me know if you share yours- I would love to see it!!
@@sabrayne you're welcome, and thank you! I will for sure!
Cool story bro 😎 Like listening to these stories while applying for jobs lol, iduno why but nice!
Haha love it! Thanks for watching :)
finally, a straight up honest video
your transparency is everything! Thank you for making this video. so Helpful!
Glad you liked it :) thank you!
Always love seeing earnings transparency! Props for doing it even while not being in the place you want to be!
Have you thought about doing any freelance content writing on the side? It's a great way to immediately increase your earnings while you look for a better-paying position, and it can also directly help you land better positions. A lot of writers I know have turned freelance work into well-paid fulltime positions (including me lol).
Thank you! I would love to do freelance work-do you have any tips on breaking into it?
2019: work study 14/hr
2021: 15.5/hr (first post college job)
2022: 50k (new company)
2023: 53k (same company, raise)
2024: 60k (same company, promotion)
My company gives everyone at least the same amount of raise every year and then with the remaining budget they give merit based raises, rlly love working there even if the pay is less than industry standard (I’m a data analyst)
Also love financial feminist!
Thank you for sharing!! Nice to see that at least some companies out there give merit-based raises :)
hi may I ask what company or at least what position u are working on?

No pero para, que linda que sos ❤
Anyone starting out in their career, please do not do fully remote you will lose out on so many opportunities. Hybrid is the way.
I am 25 and live in germany and I never worked during my schooltime, I started an apprenticeship as a Management assistant for IT-Systems in 2018 were I earned 800-1000€ per month. I finished the apprenticeship in 2021 and worked as a first level IT Consultant specialized in home network since then. My salary wis close to 4k/ month pre tax, so all that is left is 2500€ but I make the best out of it and it‘s definetly not the end of my career yet.
great video!! thanks for sharing :)
thank you for watching!! I'll definitely share more financial videos in the future :)
earning the same salary 3 years after starting a full time job kinda sucks. Get your money up not your funny up rrrrrrrraahr 🐯
I’m 24 out of college a year ago in project management for construction and making $82k with overtime. There’s all these tech jobs but the not so glamorous boots on the ground jobs are great. Almost everyone I work with in their 20’s are at the stage to buy a house. Go for the non sexy job
single? 🤩
Mommy
I do think this is actually the most realistic one I have seen. However, from a financial standpoint, maybe go over the costs a little bit more I like the video, but it left me thinking oh her boyfriend must make a lot of money to be able to live in New York.
