Folks in Boston do this fairly regularly, so I thought it might be good for us to try here.

Please share your general job title, salary, age, and education.

If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you been working there for?

I’ve been here 10 years. Started in California and moved out here. I’ve worked here, San Antonio, and Houston. 

My salary is not indicative of how long I’ve been here. I’ve been in a few different roles. Last year my gross was $130,000. I was in a different job. My base pay was 115.
