Whats the Largest Increase in Salary you've ever experienced or seen? UPDATE

I got about 100% raise once when I switched jobs. Throw in the benefits, both real and fringe, and it was closer to a 120% raise.

Unfortunately a couple of months later my wife took about a 60% pay cut.

Got a 50% raise when I switched companies, then a 50% raise after a year with the new company. So in a 1 year span, a 125% raise.

Without going to all the details, my salary grew north of 400% over the last decade. There are been a number of promotions and job changes within that led to the changes. The most dramatic changes occurred in the last two years or so.

Joe Brady went from $80k to about $2.5 million in a year.

It's fascinating to watch employers undervalue its current employees and then have to replace and retrain. Easy to take for granted those that are already on board.

Agreed... I was pretty much given the reins in my second year. We’ll have maybe one strategic meeting per quarter to stay on the same page, but other than that, I do it how I want... I just finished my 5th year and we’ve had a lot of success, especially the last two years, but I’ve only gotten one raise and it was like 5%.

Now, I was treated well with bonuses, once got a 70+% bonus, but I needed more stability as I move into the having kids portion of my life, so I finally had to go have a heart to heart, and I basically told him I didn’t want to leave but we were going to have to do something with my base or I was going to have to look around. He knew it was coming and we hashed it out in about 5 minutes.

I submitted my resume on indeed a few years ago. Someone must have seen it and ratted me out to my supervisor that I was looking for a new job.

My supervisor then assured me he would work with me to increase my pay. I already knew he saw my resume on indeed, so I told him I applied at a few places, but nothing yet. Since then, my pay has increased 56%.

At age 50 - a 50% bump (with a change of position) -

I did 40% pay jump after I got my PE license. The catch though is I jumped jobs to get it.
