How long does it take to double your salary?

Question

Same position/same company for many years.

Answer 1

I don't know, but some employers think that a 10% increase in salary is the same as doubling it.

Answer 2

Your jobs aren't even the same - she is a native speaker. You are an upper intermediate speaker She has no problem performing business translation You admit to having problems with business transalation Since she is more a native speaker, I would surmise she can translate written communication. Can you do anything with written communication? But the real thing here is: "I know her salary as I work in accounting and have done invoices for the temporary labor". You appear to be a dimwit. If you are processing "invoices" she is not even an employee. You are in accounting, working with AP and you have no clue the differences between an employee and an independent contractor. - do you not know the basic differences between an EE & IC tax structure? Right off the bat, she is losing 7.65% more of her income, without having things like workers comp and unemployment insurance - or how much benefits cost a company in general? Benefits usually cost about 1/3 of your income.... DIDN'T YOU LEARN THIS KIND OF STUFF?!? So how much more is her salary than yours? And how much more valuable to the company is she? = you can do 1/2 the job she can because there is a BIG difference between upper intermediate and fluent; and on the accounting side your tasks indicate you are nothing more than a clerk. Add'l info: "intricate tax law"??? Don't you know the BASIC taxes on your paycheck? Or about the Bush Tax Cuts? Or the 2% temporary FICA reduction for 2011 & 2012? There is nothing "intricate" about it.

Answer 3

what kind of a question is that? You can't double your salary just because you want to. You are paid just enough for your boss to keep you there. The only way someone can have a choice to double or even triple their salary is Network Marketing.

Answer 4

The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

Answer 6

I don't think you'll ever double your salary working the same position at the same company...
Especially since chances are.. you could take your experience and your talent and go to another company and get paid experience pay..

Answer 7

never going to happen unless you work for a small company and they strike it big- eg. you are the IT guy for a small computer company and your company develops new software and starts making big bucks-then your raise may double your salary after a couple years

Answer 8

By accepting my new job a few months ago, I doubled what I was making 5 years ago.

I work in nonprofit, so this question boggles my mind. I would think you'd have to go from mopping the floors to being the head of a department for that to happen.

Answer 10

double the hours
