Date: June 18th, 2026 4:33 PM Author: adventurous theater stage Quickest way to do this is to divide the first year salary by the social security taxable wage base for that year: In 2007 (when they first raised to $160,000): 160/97.5 =1.641 In 2026: 235/184.5 =1.274 So first years are paid roughly 30% less than they were in 2007. HTH. |

Date: June 18th, 2026 5:32 PM Author: Amber shrine main people LJL at this fraud. Even using BLS figures that underestimate real inflation, $160k in 2007 (when the first year scale salary was $160k) would be worth $265k today. Add to that endless global connectivity, skyrocketing partner pay, shrinking partner ranks, and dem iron chains of No Breakfast.

Date: June 19th, 2026 1:57 PM Author: razzle hall It was for 160-200, but when starting salary is $235 and median base pay for an AGC is $235 it stops being helpful.
Most executives are still in the $350-$450 range so it has to be all about cash bonus and equity now. |
