The salary diary of a startup founder: 5 things I did to scale my income more than 10 times
, we value transparency, so the solution I found to avoid salary obsessions and burnout was obvious, but difficult: Share my own personal salary diary! If people could see my own nonstandard, haphazard career path toward being a reasonably compensated startup founder, perhaps it would help them find contentment in where they are now.
I became so proficient that coworkers were coming to me for help, and, even if I didn't know an answer at the time, I'd always find it. Eventually, I achieved my Google Analytics certification. Senior leaders noticed. I began fixing tracking issues and working directly with developers. I built my clout so much that I even aided the CEO. Had I not been willing to learn, these doors never would have opened.
In retrospect, these jobs bolstered my work ethic, which came in handy as a startup founder. My time as a government intern wasn't enjoyable — I didn't like not having control over whether my recommendations were implemented. However, this helped form my future employment goals: I knew finding a role where I wasn't just doing analysis, but actually putting suggestions into effect, would work best for me.
The first time I ever passed the two-year mark was at Travelzoo, where I learned the value of longevity. Admittedly, it wasn't from patience on my end; rather, it came from being clearer about my ambition as well as my willingness to work hard in a company that offered plenty of growth opportunities.
