Today fast forward 22 years later my annual pay including bonus is 190k while my frd barely reached the 100k mark. We both work in the finance sector.
Agree. Paper qualifications open the door but it is all about performance (and sometimes luck) after that.

I have first class honors. After working for so long, I don't even mentioned that anymore.
