Roughly 58k (Canuckian). 1/2 of a 2-man team at an industrial site for a multi-billion dollar company. Network wrangler, computer toucher and user teacher. 24/7/365 on call. Also in the middle of nowhere so not a lot of options (that aren't remote, and I did that for 3 years and it nearly loving killed me). Officially 3 weeks of vacation, but my bosses-boss is cool and knows that we bust our rear end, so I probably get an extra 5-10 days a year worth of days off that he doesn't care about as long as shits getting done.

$83k a year, good pension and health benefits, 18 days PTO as a network administrator, doing pretty much nothing but Cisco route/switch work for local government org. 15 minute commute and I love the work. If people are tired of burning themselves out in the corporate world I'd highly recommend state/local government jobs. They are not all the super slow paced, do nothing jobs you hear about.

I went from a 30k€ job as all-around Windows person (AD admin, WSUS, WDS/WAIK, HelpDesk) at a hospital to 52k working with Ansible on Linux for a software company. This is in Germany with 30 days PTO, 40 hour work week, 3 months notice if my employer wants to lay me off.

DroneRiff posted:Ditto. 37.5K GBP here as a Senior Application/Informatics Analyst for a major EHR in a South East (not London) NHS hospital. In plus side, 33 days PTO plus public holidays. You on band 7? Mines even worse, it includes London weighting and Oncall as well. I agree with CLAM DOWN though, gently caress private companies and working to make some rich piece of poo poo even richer. It really sucks to have to choose between poo poo pay or that. HalloKitty posted:Wage stagnation with ever-spiralling property prices is the situation in the UK, it sucks. I'm not living there any more, but I still get emails from recruiters with offers that would have been only OK 10-12 years ago, no joke Where did you emigrate too? I've been really considering Australia. There's not much here any more and I just want to be warm again!!

$90k/yr, 4+ weeks of PDO, 401k match, ok healthcare, super flexible hours and an amazing work/life balance, central florida area. Title is End User Computing but essentially my job is jack of all trades IT at a hospital on a team of 4. We handle everything from the lowest level of resetting doctors passwords and imaging PCs to managing the phone system and local network/servers. We have corporate overlords that handle application support and the larger scale network/sys admin type duties. Gotta admit, it's a cake job and I have a 5 minute drive to work everyday. I have some room for growth here on the local team. I came from the corporate team where there is more room for growth but my work/life balance is so great here I have 0 desire to go back to corporate.

I find it sort of useful, lets you know what else is out there, helps you compare if youre over or under paid. I know reading these sort of threads in the past really helped motivate me to start studying for certs and try for jobs I didnt think I was qualified for.

It's important to know what ranges are. I would not have made some decisions if I hadn't known what other people are making as it made me think "well I want to make more, but I didnt realize it would be possible outside of X experience or Y role" I was quite content with my 65k year network engineering job until I heard of someone make 120k doing the same poo poo for a different MSP. But no, wages and/or property do not define a person, I agree with that 100%

Wages vary so incredibly drastically by location, role, field, organization, often for perfectly legit reasons, that comparing them to randoms from around the world is completely useless. And it pisses me off when people feel hurt or down because of it for absolutely no reason, because it's ridiculous and not something they should be using as a comparison. It's nothing but dickwaving.

Also, cost of living factors heavily when evaluating wages. 50k is a pittance in downtown LA, but could have you living like a king if you're in a low cost of living area.

The general rule of thumb I handle is: if your mortage/rent exceed 40% of your monthly expenses, you either get underpaid or your house is overvalued.

DONT TOUCH THE PC posted:The general rule of thumb I handle is: if your mortage/rent exceed 40% of your monthly expenses, you either get underpaid or your house is overvalued. The Canadian new mortgage rules put the limit at 34% with a 5.14% interest rate (that is, at 5.14% interest rate what you would pay is less than 34% of your salary, even if you get a better rate from your bank.). If your mortgage would be more than 34% then get a better salary or buy a cheaper house.

How is that even possible for some folks with the property values there being what they are in some of the metro areas? Toronto brimming with 300K a year jobs so people can afford a house there?

So far in any discussion regarding this online, the 40% number is on the higher end of the scale, but it does check out. I am talking to a lot of white middle class people of course, this is the internet after all. Volguus posted:If your mortgage would be more than 34% then get a better salary or buy a cheaper house. There's plenty of situations where the solution "buy a new house" is the worst kind of advice.

Even outside of the big centers is hosed. I'm 7 hours out of TO in a lovely little town, and my place cost me way too much. But when we moved, rent was obscene, and any places under $200k were shitholes. But our property taxes/cost of living are obscenely high. Wife's getting sick of her job, so hopefully we'll be moving soon. If we can hold on 2-3 years, there's some huge job creation happening, housing is already scarce, and we might make out alright. But, I live 30 seconds from the snowmobile trails and I can go riding all the time, so life's okay.
