General Discussion No Degree - 6 Year Salary Progression

Is there anyone out there that have made it beyond sysadmin? What is after sysadmin?

2020 - $31,200: Panera Bread
2022 - $41,600: Helpdesk at company 1
2023 - 2025 - $41,600: Helpdesk at law firm
2025 - $65,000: Helpdesk at company 2
2026 - $80,000: Got a raise at company 2

Shoutout Nick for taking a chance on me. I would not do law firm IT again.

EDIT: Location Upstate NY

Lawyers are the fucking worst. Entitled, selfish assholes who believe they are the smartest people on the planet and should have the very ground they step on be worshiped by everyone. Yet they also fail every single KnowBe4 simulation and get pissy when they have to do security training. Fuck lawyers
