I was an engineer in 2019. Since then, I’ve completed an MBA and became a project manager with a team of engineers under me. Even though my salary looks larger, my buying power is roughly equal to what it was four years ago. Without the education and title, I’d be far worse off.
Meanwhile, I see large increases for upper management as well as the union employees who have gotten 30% raises.
I wish I had roughly equal. I’m down over $10,000. But other jobs I look at pay little more with worse befits.
I work for a city, so most have gotten the same increase. However, the new mayor did hire several “senior strategists” for much higher pay. And he also gave a massive raise to the police, and a slightly larger raise than everyone to the teamsters. But most everyone else continues to be screwed by inflation.
That’s my issue.
