Age 28 this year, master degree in CS, graduated in 2022. All base exclude bonus and stock
2020 - 2.5k, researcher in uni
2021 - 7k, move to industry to do swe
2022 - 7.8k, increment
2023.1 - 9.1k, promoted
2023.2 - 12k, change job (I'm writing this post while in the notice period and have nothing to do lol)

Just read for fun leh. In addition the TC matter more than monthly salary. e.g. in 2022 I had 7 month bonus, so the real TC is >> 7.8k.

Well done! Another SWE bring home the big bucks well done! How has the recent cost cutting by tech firms inpacted you and your peers?

Graduated masters in 2022 means 2020 & 2021 working part time?
