Two mitigating factors for me:

  1. For many years my skillset expanded faster than inflation ate away at my pay. I've been in a high demand specialty (Cybersecurity) for awhile.
  2. I'm now a manager, which does come with extra pay. Perhaps more importantly, it puts me in a position to throw my weight around to get my team and myself better raises.
