I went from 40k to 140k in approximately 1 year. I had a stupid job that paid 40k, and the job itself also sucked, but then I got a software dev job for 56k. I did that for about a year. then another software company hit me up randomly last december and their offer was considerably better at 140k sooooooooooo that's where I work now. it's nice
Congrats, I envy you lol!
I'm currently making like 38k a year max, barely getting by on bills and such. Currently searching for a new job, had a promising interview with a place that pays 60-80k a year and that's more than enough for me to live happily, unfortunately haven't heard back though.
Ever had an interview where everything is smooth sailing and goes perfect, but ya still don't hear back/get a job offer or follow-up? It'd be one thing if they expressed disinterest at the end of the interview in a respectful and professional manner like you know a "Hey we aren't sure you'd make a good candidate" or whatever, but for it to end on a good note and just not hear back at all? It's like a girl asking you to be her boyfriend (or the opposite or something other for whichever way you swing) and then ghosting you the second your date ends on that romantic high note. stuff is real disheartening.
