Year 4: 5k
Year 5: 5.5k
Year 6: 6.4K

Average Type B Commercial Joe (3% market increment you)
Year 1: 4.5k
Year 2: 4.635k
Year 3: 4.77k
Year 4: 4.92k
Year 5: 5.06k
Year 6: 5.2k

It only takes 4 years for an auditor to surpass the commercial Joe in terms of salary, and the pay gay widens more as years pass.

You know which will be a better option, it’s simple math and it’s such a pity nowadays Strawberry gen can’t understand that auditor is a late game hero hello??

I’m not going to challenge your numbers since those really vary and depend on your industry, role, growth and luck.

Instead I will point out those 4 years, once gone, cannot be regained by any means.

Average male graduate at 25.

You really want to spend 25 to 29 slogging and working long hours?

If you have the ambition and determination, go ahead, not stopping you. But don’t force your thinking on other people who wanna prioritise health, work life balance, family and relationships.

I admire and respect your will to endure, but this ain’t for everyone ok.

How hard does an Average Type B Commercial Joe work?
No promotion, every year 3% increment. Not realistic.
How many of such people do you know?

Seems like you're only comparing with those worse off.

Probably a progression for high performer and still slower than audit.
