> I tripled my salary in two years by starting off woefully underpaid,
Unfortunately, this is how most "I tripled my salary in X years" stories look when you dig into the details.
I've spent a lot of time coaching people on interviewing and negotiating. With some people, half the battle is detaching them from their original compensation anchor point and re-centering on real market data.
On the other hand, I've also had to gently convince a lot of eager students that they can't expect $300K full-remote FAANG offers right out of college, despite whatever they heard on Reddit and Blind.

The only unfortunate thing is how many people don’t find their way to the same story. That’s why I shared it the way I did. I thought I was asking a lot, and many people will too. When I just… got it… I realized my negotiating position.
