      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. . .

          It's the truth. I took a huge pay cut to start working here. I wanted to be a part of a team, but I forgot that a team consists of people and I don't like people

                  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 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.

                                      I left. I easily could've milked it for awhile but it just wasn't the honest thing to do

                                            The numbers just seem large for a 15K between job moves. Not including annual raises etc.

                                            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 😉
