I thought Ahsoka was bad but my wife liked it. Then again, she's way more into Star Wars than I am and has seen all the cartoons and everything, and I gather there's a lot of backstory in those. Rosario Dawson felt really flat in it. Just a real in it for the check performance.

I’m in the metro area of seattle so I think that’s a significant reason why the salaries are so high for many of the IT/systems support folks I know

Nearing the end of Skyrim and running out of quests finally so I guess I'll open that Elder Scroll on top of the mountain but I don't want it to end. Also figuring out that I can drag dead bodies around has brought the game to a grinding halt since I'm spending all my time assembling all the Forsworn bodies to make it look like an orgy and cackling to myself because I'm 12

Android Apocalypse posted:Loki season 2 wrapped everything up and it feels like a good coda for the titular character. Rebels has some high highs but is largely kind of boring and a huge comedown from Clone Wars. Ahsoka is pretty bad, I would not recommend watching 75 episodes of Rebels to get to Ahsoka.

Clone Wars could be hit and miss, but the anthology nature of it usually kept things fresh. By the end of Rebels I was pretty tired of Grass Planet and of most of the main cast of characters. I will say that I watched Rebels more or less in real time as it came out, so I could see it going down different if you can stream it all at once. The main way it suffers in comparison with Clone Wars is how obviously lower budget it is.

I work at a giant software company. I've no doubt there's software engineers making $200k+ if they've put a decade or more into the job, but most of the people who make that are well into a management role, like middle management and up. This is at a big established company though. There's a faster path to wealth which is to work at startups, of course you could get unlucky and do three or four busts and never have one that makes it big, but if you're young and can handle the grinding hours and irritatingly big personalities and all that poo poo, it's a possibility that you'll get on board a pre-IPO that gets big VC money and your options and stuff will push your income up and over the 200k mark. As a technical writer, lol, lmao at that being an option, nobody in my field makes 200k. I've got 24 years into my career now and my little brother is making the same as me after three years of doing Elixir programming. Technically I make a bit more because I have RSUs that push it above, but on a strict salary basis his is higher than mine. "IT" is kind of an eroded term now. It used to mean the guys handling all the servers and networking at every company that had those, but increasingly everything's cloud and your random insurance office or lawyer firm's IT dept has shrunk and the work has become more straightforward and I think that has depressed the salaries. But then there's jobs working at like an amazon data center or implementing a complicated cloud architecture at some big company that can pay pretty well. I'm not sure if people would call those "IT" jobs specifically, they tend to be more specialized. System integrator, pre-sales architect, etc. You get like an Azure certification or something and then charge consultant fees to companies to help them implement their MS cloud deployment and maybe that's "IT" but nobody's calling it that. The reality is that, as in many other fields, specialization is how you make more money, but also involves a certain amount of added risk. If you're the only guy in the region who really knows how to do this one specific thing, you can charge high fees. But if that one specific thing becomes obsolete and you don't have more general skills, you could just stop being relevant. I remember in the 90s/00s there were people with loads of investment into physical networking knowledge and technologies, and then basically everything standardized on ethernet. If you invested a ton of time into expertise with token ring networking, that investment became worthless and you needed to be willing and able to shift to the modern thing. And since the modern thing is much more standardized, you'll be competing with a lot of other networking people who are also experts with ethernet networks. Your specialization premium went away. I'm somewhat specialized on cloud architecture docs. But that's a shift. I used to be somewhat specialized on enterprise application admin docs. And before that, in ~1999-2000, I had experience with XML before most tech writers did, and that got me my first job. In a world where people are worried about AI eroding writer jobs and we've had two decades of exporting those jobs overseas too, I'm still pretty secure because of my specialty. For IT jobs it's a similar deal.

When I was at either of my former corporate law gigs, pretty much everyone I dealt with in IT made over 200k each, from contractors to the in house.... god its been too long since I did Agile so I forgot their titles... Product Owners + Conductors? Basically everyone involved made crazy money. Brokest dudes int he room were the Scrum Masters and they made mid 100s. Seemed like a really safe field to make a good living.

I used to make over 200k but that involved traveling every week, and that doesn’t work when trying to start a family. Sure beat when I was traveling for 20 days at a time making 90ish though. I’m looking for a new job now though and it does sting seeing salaries at half of what I used to make, but the lifestyle should be much better.

Ornery and Hornery posted:How many of you make $200k or more? I'll out myself - after bonuses, I made approximately $155k. This is in Wisconsin, and I had ~20 years in the field as a team lead managing 10 folks, all overseas contractors that I had no say in hiring or retention, mostly in a support role for devops tooling. I was at this place for 12 years and started at $95k as a senior developer. As mentioned, I technically wasn't supposed to be 24/7, but by nature of being That One Guy That Knows All The Legacy poo poo, I got called and messaged every day at all times of the day. That was supposed to change but the company wouldn't invest in upgrading old code so there was never an end in sight. Anyway, I'm rambling. If you're at all curious feel free to PM me and I'm happy to explain what I saw.

Ornery and Hornery posted:How many of you make $200k or more? I could. My current gig is inpatient psych has me managing multiple inpatient facilities. I have 12 facilities that I see every two weeks. I go to them in the morning, see my dudes, then come back home and chart. A couple of facilities I see weekly, but most are every two weeks. To get to 200k, I'd need to add a couple facilities and see the really in depth ones half as much, which would make those days brutal. Overall I'd need to see 26 patients a day. I'm paid per patient, and obviously that invites some perverse incentives and no not all of these patients need to be seen monthly but this is per Medicare guidelines and I do right by them. I don't just snow people. That seems like a lot of patients, but I'm working in chronic care; i see these patients at least monthly. I know them very well, and without bragging I'm good at this. I can get patients stable. It's a ton of work up front, because in every facility I'm taking over for someone incompetent. For example I took over an entire VA long term care facility and the previous provider was an imbecile. It took me about 2 months to get everyone stable, and now the place is a cakewalk. It's just a cash cow for me now, and I'm fine with that because I killed myself to get it there. I go there, shoot the poo poo with my patients, let everyone play with Addie, and go home and chart. I'm doing well but lifestyle creep is absolutely a thing and I have a ton of projects that aren't going to pay for themselves. I'm trying to keep perspective on things and I am worried about my work life balance. I do not like charting from home; when i go home I want things to be done, and WFH leads to me just kinda working a little all during the week. I'm already seeing more psych patients than any other psych provider in the company, six months in. they don't even bother me about not attending zoom meetings because I'm too busy. they're paying me for acute consults because, frankly, how incompetent other providers in this company are. Ive never smoked weed regularly in my life and I'm currently getting high every night to relax because I know they can't randomly drug screen me and even if they did I'd laugh at them and dare them to fire me. this is toxic as poo poo So yeah, I'd need to increase my patient load by about 20%, add facilities, and go through the process of stabilizing them all, and honestly I just don't think it's worth it. i loving hate this job, I hate this loving company, I hate working from home, I hate my coworkers saying stupid loving poo poo like asking what dopamine is (yes I am serious yes I am horried) and i hate hate HATE when patients ask me to help them with other problems because Im the only person they trust. I hate not having in person coworkers and I miss the camraderie of working in the hospital or an office where we all know we're getting hosed but we're getting hosed together so gently caress it. Next step for me is... a.) either private practice psych where'd I'd absolutely make over 200k and have an office. Id be bored as hell but it'd be easy. b.) inpatient neuro. i love it. it's what i like doing. it would not pay that great compared to what I could be making in psych c.) say gently caress it and work at that psilocybin/mdma/ketamine psych facility 20 minutes outside of town anyway wow this took off uh sorry

My ex wife did the startup routine for a bit but had pretty bad luck, ranging from unexpectedly shutting down with no notice to the cokehead owner firing her at SEATAC during a manic episode while she was returning from a work trip. Made me greatly appreciate the stability of government work, the best job security and especially with the union I’m harder to get rid of than a cockroach. My pay is unimpressive in the grand scheme but for a social worker, especially one without an MSW, it’s pretty much top of the industry, I’ve got a buddy who wants to move to Tennessee to be near her family and it’d literally be a 60% pay cut

I dunno if this holds true across all industries but for a lot of white collar jobs, you can take a ~$80k-$120k job and more or less half-rear end it permanently with no big trouble. But if you want to make $200k you are going to be busting your rear end. Maybe there's some dead easy $200k jobs out there but I don't know what they are. If you're thinking "executives" hell yeah but at least in my industry they're making more than $200k and a lot of them sacrificed their personal lives for 10-20 years first to get there. If you are climbing a management chain, the bottom levels of management suck rear end a lot in a lot of industries. I know a fair number of programmers and while I don't know all of their salaries, I know the ones that have gotten promotions and longevity in their jobs and have have roles like "chief architect" are the types that hammer out code for weeks without coming up for air and don't seem to have a lot of outside of work hobbies or interests. That's never gonna be me.

King County gets a 5% COLA as well and that's across all state agencies. On the other hand our entry level admin and very basic worker salaries start at about 30k before taxes and that's across all agencies too. I did our lobby day on Monday to talk specificially about that since a good friend of mine had to post a GoFundMe for rent after her husband got laid off they got behind. Better wages for everyone, getting someone with actual child welfare experience instead of gormless Microsoft tech dude as our agency head, and taking worker assaults seriously have been the focus here for our union. Gotta admit, aside from burnout, getting multiple threats from a client was a big reason for me switching to court services.

I think the most annoying thing about making money is that our leaders just gently caress the economy up so they can get theres and it ends up eating all my advancement. Literally making the most money I've ever made. In the worst financial position I've been since I bought my house nearly ten years ago. Monthly costs since 2020 have gone up for me by nearly 800 dollars and I've reduced frivolous and vice spending by a lot.

No Butt Stuff posted:My company recalled all remote employees to hybrid roles for two days a week in the office in August. They’re increasing it to three days in April. A very good reason to be firing off resumes, imo My ~1500 people company had a quarterly town hall today. There was a typed question asking if a fully remote person would have the same opportunities for advancement as someone in a physical office. Our (very uncharismatic) CEO at first said oh yeah, good employees will be recognized and promoted no matter where they work, then kind of caught himself and threw in something at the end about "it's one thing to be remote where we don't have a physical presence, but you can figure out a hybrid schedule if you're in a city where we have an office". Made me happy there isn't one within 1000 miles of me.
