Very nice! I see quite a number of companies on there which I have too and it seems you have a few value/turnaround stocks in there.
Does this also include your Pillar 1e/2/3a assets? If not, how much are those pension assets compared to this and how are those invested if differently e.g. do they represent a ‘bond-like’ portion of the portfolio?
Lastly, to understand your asset allocation, do you also own real estate and how does that fit in with your portfolio?
This seems slightly off topic, I replied on FI(RE), pulling the trigger likely in 2020: ~50, male, married, one kid - Share your story - Mustachian Post Community instead.
After talking to someone from abroad about taxes, I made a chart comparing income vs. taxable income. Salary still is biggest part of that. Does this count?
Highest rate was above 85% of income (not depicted), lowest below 50%.
Alas, no big jumps on the salary level without leaving a comfortable part-time job.

While not extraordinary, I anticipate further salary growth in line with this new position in the future.

Next step from here would require a promotion (and also not getting fired in the meantime).

in which sector your working? whats your role?
whats your job role if i may ask?
Executive role, Among top 1% of a multi-national company, industry sector
Was it always the same job, or was there a change? Just wondering why free company shares started appearing in 2023.
No, some job changes / role evolution leading to eligibility to an incentive plan for top mgmt
I’m currently negotiating for 235 base + 150 stocks, would be biggest pay day so far.
can you share your job progress? and since you are in tech what were your roles? and how do you find such kind of offers? do they approach you? are these faang companies?
See Share your salary progression - #438 by MrCheese except that 2023 didn’t go that well (ended up at 258k), startup couldn’t raise Series A and laid me and 6 others off last year. Now Head of IT/Security at a swiss startup but got a offer on table for Head of Security in crypto world again for 235k base plus 0.5% which I took to current company and they might match it. We’ll see.
your salary doubled at megacorp :). Whats the evolution of your joblevel there like you started as an engineer and then climbed up the level ladder? I guess its some faang company ^^
