increased close to $2k over the last 2 to 3 years. I think it's normal pace for
mid career switchers with many years experience. If you can consistently perform at or above your grade
, you can be promoted fast to keep pace with others with same years of working experience.
So 2 years is possible..even 1 year is possible for people with many years experience.
