Uh, paying 42k of income tax when you're only earning 94k would be like, a 45% tax rate. There's no way your income tax is that high.

I make 137k now and my effective take home is like 100k after 401k and deductions and poo poo. do you see how almost half your income disappearing to ? doesn't make sense?

it's really weird and arbitrary how certain jobs are compensated I got a bite from a recruiter looking to hire a head instructor for a coding school. responsibilities to include preparing courses, reviewing and improving courses prepared by other instructors, teaching and assisting students, reviewing other instructors' performance-- multiple critical aspects of a business that's supposed to turn out (at least baby) coders. salary on offer was less than I made as a sw dev w/ 1 year of experience. afaict, even specialized educators who create other skilled people in highly-demanded areas are ridiculously undercompensated. CS professors at the moment e.g. assuming the nsa has its arms around the problem and isn't already getting pay scales bumped or just Contracting Out Everything, the nsa is gonna have to pay a private company to make (and maintain / update) the curriculum for a training program that takes people who don't have very good aptitude for everything that the NSA does and gets them up to a basic level. then those people will leave the nsa for industry where they will get paid a lot more until the labor market gets saturated
