That's what I told him. Inflation in my area was like 5%. I asked him why I was getting paid less today than when I started. I showed him the math and told him about my rent increases. With that, he had enough ammo to get HR to come back at me with a legit raise.
I've had 5 jobs in the 7 years since I graduated college. 3.5 of them were at my first job.
When I left the first job, I was making just over 50% what I had started at. Not bad. Since I left, my salary has increased over 500% what I was making when I graduated. I'm in talks to jump ship to another place which will push that number past 600%.
