I had literally interviewed twice before I was laid off.
I believe if you consistently aim for a slightly higher position at other businesses, and aggressively grow your skillet, you can absolutely climb up salary levels.
I not only answered this question in the original comment you replied to, I gave specific examples of people at vastly different education and income levels doing it.
Yes, anyone can change jobs every 2-5 years and make vastly more money over time. It’s literally the best way to raise your salary.
"Everyone* doesn’t want to. Many people work their way up to a certain point and are happy where they are. Some people don’t want any responsibility. Some people have limitless ambition.
I’m a “big picture” guy so I worked myself into positions where I decide large-scale direction. I’d have no interest in being like, a C-suite tho, because it is too removed from the impact of what I do. VP is basically my career goal.

Okay? (I don’t believe you.) And do you think it’s possible for every person to do that. You keep not answering the most important question.

This is pretty well-understood and documented.

I didn’t ask if anyone can. I asked if everyone can.

Lmao. So then why are you even in this conversation.
Just say from the beginning you don’t think some people should be able to live.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. Who am I saying shouldn’t be able to live?
The people who are unable to do it. Are you even paying attention to the post you are on? Have you read the comments you’re responding to?
Why is it your belief that those people will die?
Some people don’t have the drive to climb that high. My wife is one of those people. She still makes a comfortable living.
