My Pay Progression in Tech

Here’s my hourly progression through all of my tech jobs during college. No overnight success. Just internships, learning on the job, asking questions, and staying consistent. Every role taught me something different technical skills, communication, confidence, and how to actually move up in tech. If you’re in college trying to break into tech: • Apply early and often • Don’t wait until you “feel ready” • Build skills outside of class • Treat internships like auditions • Network even when it’s uncomfortable I’m still learning, still grinding, and still aiming higher but this is proof that progress is real if you don’t quit. #computerscience #collegestudent #career #internships #careeradvice
