its what a true capitalist would do :911:

my grandfather was head of a local bank branch, and my dad told me that his father was so pleased that the law was changed so he had more days vacation than before, so pleased, until he was made aware that his subordinates also got that same increase in vacation days. that actually pissed him off and made it worse than if nobody had gotten anything at all.

such a weird mindset.

i wonder if there's a study of people earning wages of around 95-105k and what the rates of firing are for people making over 100k. i bet they're higher even if the difference in money's not much due to reasons along the lines of psychological pricing.

this one guy on glassdoor reported 281 dollars in tips for the same job as me - maybe he's trying to incpude the pre-paid visa card they do where you can grant another employee 25 bucks if you want to thank them for help on a particular task?

idk when i thought of it or if its even original (it probably isnt), but:

some people say: "i dont want anybody to get more than i got"
i say: "i want everyone to have at least what i had"

its idealistic i know, but gently caress you if you dont agree

this is the graph i was referring to:



that is all engineers. i think IT engineers have slightly higher salaries across the board. also these are monthly earnings, so "six figgies" would be 8333 on the graph.

yes, the graph ends at 7000

ive found that the best way to get the six figgies is to actually be motivated to do poo poo and not just sit around on facebook and reddit all day. the best way to do that is to want to learn. following this life advice got me to 100k in about a year of trying and im way more interested in doing my job than 2 years ago when i just goofed off at work since i wasnt motivated

i mean i theoretically get paid 30k in european socialist money a year but i have no basis to compare it with anyone else (besides knowing it's on the low end) because apparently no one on the internet lives in germany

even still 30k eur seems low, thats close to unskilled labor in denmark. our taxes are higher than in germany tho

e: actually its like 5% over unskilled labor. you should def ask for a raise

there's healthcare (and i'm already getting use out of it too) and some retirement insurance thing or other but that number is before the deductions for that, it'd be like 19,750 net. i'm promised raises at some points next year but it's probably not gonna get to like 40k any time soon.

it's pretty much a first job after dropping out of college thing so I'm not feeling too ill-treated rn

imo its fine to work an underpaying job for a bit at first, it just being there on your CV counts more than the extra cash.

no more than a year or so, though.

as for salary: 1 get in a union if you arent, and
2. im horrible at negotiating salary, but when they ask what you expect, it works pretty well to have looked up the relevant union stats and just quote that + a good some extra (because they will haggle you down)

I am on just under £30k, I don't think it is too bad money for my qualifications and experience and also the job role and area. I think I'm getting a promo soon but I don't know how big a pay bump it will be.

I am motivated to learn but I don't know how to get into six figgy territory in the UK IT sec industry without going into management or something so I guess I will just keep learning and working hard :shrug:

it's worth sticking around to see what the first pay rise is at least. I doubled my salary in under 1.5 years in my first job - it started out lowish and I was ready to quit if they didn't give me like 30% extra but they offered way more so :)

I pay myself 240k out of the 600k my company brings in. Hopefully me and my partners can sell it in a year or two for 1.2, 1.5 and that's not a terrible return on a few years of work. I only have 10% but hey that's why I'm taking a salary.

This is embarrassing but you know being transparent about wages is important
