With the cost of living being what it is these days, I'm pretty sure everyone wants to make more money. But bringing home a higher salary isn't always as simple as "just work hard and they'll eventually reward you."
So if you've made a significant jump up in your pay, I would love to hear your story.
Maybe you started your career in a role that involved "wearing lots of hats" for about $12 an hour. After a couple years of trying to get a raise without much success, you ended up parlaying your experience into a role at another company that offered you $22 an hour, and, after a few more years, you went to a third company that pays you $30 an hour. Even better, you now only have to wear one to two hats, tops.
Or perhaps you worked in your field for about a decade but the salary seemed to plateau at about $50k a year. You took some courses online to learn some new skills and changed careers. Now, you're making just over $90k a year and you're so glad you made the change.
Or maybe you went from a full-time job for around $40k to working freelance and making $70k after taxes. It was a tricky transition with a steep learning curve, but now that you've established a good client base, you actually have room to grow your income even more.
