Not saying you shouldn't strive to upgrade; of course we should. But I also think that not everyone who upgrades in 15-18 months is ready to be a CA. I guess to say it a different way, I feel the same way about TPIC as you do about pay.

Either way, best of luck in your search. I am in your shoes, trying to find that "best match" company for me to get started in my goal to become a rich FO.
