You will need to calculate your salary for an arbitrary number of years. Even the first two will be enough. In both cases, the annual salary is the same - 120 thousand. Increase plan for the first scenario: 120 thousand, 135 thousand and so on. The second scenario will give the following breakdown: 60 for the first six months and 65 for the second part of the year, resulting in 125 thousand for the 1st year.
