etalian posted:$48 a hour working as a engineer $49-50 here, depending on bonuses. the owner of my firm pays himself a salary of $380k. zillow says his house is worth just shy of $5mil my wife is a medical fellow who gets paid less than the nurses at her hospital did you know that physicians have one of the worst gender pay gaps of any industry? it's right around 30% and appears to be worsening, which may or may not be related to rising numbers of women doctors more women than men enter medical school now lol

we hafta bill hourly and project labor estimates for proposals and contracts break it out into hourly costs anyway so it makes sense

I make 72/year and upper management has weaseled out of giving us any kind of real raise since 2010. At first it was understandable when the economy took a poo poo but now the people that do the actual work are starting to get pissed. Oh and my boss got a 10% raise this year and last year.

I left my job at the national lab getting 90ish in rural SC to move to a big city to follow my spouse, who is a medical resident for treating cancer. I now work part time at an SBIR farm getting 2200 a month, but my wife handles all the bills making 60ish and i'm hoping to promote myself to full time when my proposal goes through. Luckily I knew who to call and how to sell the idea to them, so I'll probably be making 60k after it starts. Thank gently caress, we'll be loan free in a few weeks.

i make about 80k living in CA, and tbqh making more than i ever expected to make in my career. my husband makes about 30-40k working retail (he's been working for the same company for 10+ years). we do ok. i still have about 30k in student loans and i pay about 1k/mo on it. our rent is like 2.2k/mo. we can't afford a house and probably never will, and houses here start at 500k with a hugely competitive market. plus we're just two people, why the gently caress would we need a whole house??? more critically (to me), i'm trans and terrified to live anywhere else, and i've had an easy experience here with coming out/living as an openly trans person. no issues with my workplace, no one has really been rude to me about it, and i don't want to lose that. i wish all trans people could have this, and god i am scared of losing it. i don't know if i'm strong enough to deal with the alternative.
