I went from $38k to $24k to $75k in three months back in 2014.
Life changing year for me.

My salary has been the same for the past 6 years, but my annual bonuses have been increasing annually by about 15-20% each year....the number last year was 60% of my salary. Well, this past year was really successful so my bosses came to me and told me what my bonus was. I almost passed out. 40% increase from last year and it was the same as my salary. I work for a family owned business and I’ve been there since ‘95. We started very small but the blood sweat and tears are paying off tremendously. I’m very grateful for my bosses, but the are very grateful for me too.

Went from $15,000 a year as a commercial real estate appraiser trainee to almost $150,000 a year after getting my license. Quit that job after 10 years and started my own biz.
Made $5,000 profit my first year (1.5 million in rev) to losing money my 2nd year and YTD this year I have already pocketed $90,000. Expecting to net half a million this year.
emotional swings are the hardest part about being self employed. one month I think I am a God and the next month I feel like a retarded redneck incapable of producing anything

50%. I graduated and started working right before the dot com crash. I stuck with the company for a few years but got minimal raises. When I looked outside the company, I got an offer for 50% more. What's funny is that when they asked my salary requirement, I asked for 25% more than I was currently making. I really had no idea what I should be making and figured they'd bump it down to 10-15% which I would have been ok with. When I got the offer and it was for 50% more I was shocked.
I told my current company at the time I was leaving and they countered but had to get CFO approval. It was such an unusual raise that HR wouldn't sign off on it.
I wound up staying for less than 2 years then jumped ship and got another 30% raise.

I’m in sales so it’s not quite the same but my base comp once went from $80k to $175k. That was based on expected commission though.

Compared to my first job out of school in 2008, I’m making 400% more.
Since January 2019, I went from 92k to 131k in South Louisiana. So that’s not too shabby for us for not being in sales or management.

From broke college kid to oilfield trash. 12k a year to 134k.

Close to 100% for me.
I took a job with the state out of college because I was already working there part time and figured that I could add some full time experience to my resume. I was single and could live pretty cheap.
After about a year, I left for a private company and nearly doubled my income. I think I went from making 28k to 55k. This was about 20 years ago now.
