I’ve more than doubled my salary every 4 years in Silicon Valley. I’m 11 years in and 16x my starting salary my first year out of college. Yes this includes equity comp, but this is not dominated by appreciation. My current employer stock performance hasn’t been great or even mediocre. But my career growth has ensured that doesn’t matter.

2^(11/4) = 6.7x you might want to check the math there :)

I guess you could have meant by "more than doubled" as 2.75x, that would work out. Pretty impressive.

Silicon Valley is insane, but that's nothing new, when I look at the money offered elsewhere, I really regret not trying harder to move there in my 20s.
At the same company though?
Within a single company? If so, thats pretty neat.
