Started off making 41,500 I think. My new role will be my 4th position in the company, all related within the same field. Ive been able to get a same-seat promotion each step of the way.Now to the fun part. I was previously making 72,500 with a bonus up to about 16,500. A position opened up and I negotiated to get my base pay up to 106,000 with a 44,000 bonus :-Almost a 70 pay raise with 34k guaranteed money! Im pretty excited about this and it will make a difference for our family. Anyway, Im pretty proud of myself for getting to this point and obviously cant share this with people. Anyway, its not too often to work out a 60k raise when your base is 72k. I was certainly underpaid, and still am to a small degree, but things will be much much easier. On top of everything I live in one of the lowest COLs in the country and our household will now crack the 200 mark.Anyways guys, I just had to tell somebody. Best of luck to everyone!
