Where do you think you lie?
a Salary with a purchasing power of 100k in the year 2000 is now worth close to 200k now in 2024. Only now a house costs nearly 5 times as much. I’d say for as much we sacrifice for our long term careers given skill and experience required we are worth every cent.
i will make an observation that over the last 5 years or so we have been subject to multiple wage freezes and high levels of inflation which has seen our real terms go backwards. The dropping levels of experience in our newer recruits attest to this. To change a favourite phrase of mine from field of dreams. “Pay them and they will come”
