I'm the only one that's posted anything outlandish so far. The other software developers I've seen here are either being seriously underpaid or European and average, so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at with this lol

i feel like Dad the driver should have waited until they got home.

What technology you specialise in?

$78k coder here. Yep, Poland. But I already own an apartment, and my monthly bills are like $250. Average income in Poland is around $1300 (PLN tanked after war started). It's a pretty ok pay around here.

Not if you work for a 3rd party cleaning company which most gov and schools are now doing so they don't have to pay those benefits.

We try to stick with .NET backend, Angular frontend for dev work, but we're flexible. We typically work for non-tech companies and we depend MASSIVELY on referrals. Our audience is generally "non-tech companies that would benefit from technology and understand that, but don't know how to go forward."

Beyond dev work, we do management consulting, recruiting and team-building, devops and CI/CD/release management (mostly for us, customers usually have no need for it but like getting their builds quickly). Full service software consultants, greenfield to deployment, maintenance, and hiring people to maintain.

That's what I've heard. I'm not sure about Poland specifically because I haven't researched the market, but I know in general you end up getting a lot less in Europe, but you also end up being a lot more comfortable in your day-to-day.

I work at a potato chip factory, make $20/hr

Safety Engineer, $105k + bonus, usually $3-6k

And all those free chips, lucky.

I posted the $138k with bonuses. They even cover 100% of my insurance. The Covid overreaction was a major boon for guys like me. I live in the Midwest where the average income if $50k/yr and I work for a West Coast finance company where wages are much higher. So they're paying me less than a local and it's way more than I could hope to get at a local company. My salary is also high because being a software engineer is less about being able to code (anyone can do it with proper training and supervision) and more about my specialized business knowledge. That's where you can really goose your wages.

That's got to be one of the most vague job titles I've heard, what do you do?

Aww happy families

Data analyst at Amazon. Fucking 30k€ lol

Software consultant here, your second to last sentence is spot on. I don't provide software. I barely talk about the details. I provide business value. What I do personally might be software, writing code, etc, but what businesses need and want is value. And boy do they pay for it.

I work at a glownig .gov R&D lab, basically it's my job to keep the rocket scientists from blowing themselves up. I have to know a lot about the underpinning science but think about things in a different way than the researchers so we argue a lot. I get into what I call "calculator fights" fairly regularly. It's a rad job but stressful at times and many of the scientists are autistic fags which is exhausting to deal with day in day out.

I do estate liquidation and other services. I make like 100-200k a year depending on when I want to work

lead software engineer
$180k

Damn. 13 is more hourly than I made in JBFA and Michelin places. The overtime kinda made up for the low pay, but fuck. I’m so glad to be out of that world.

Shepherd, ~61€/day, on location 24/7 working 8 hours every day using 2 dogs to herd ~500 sheep, seasonal (mar - nov)

interesting. what percentage of shepherds do you think post on Yea Forums? i'm surprised to see that sort of vocation here

Why is a guy as smart as you making so little dude, I wish I had that kind of intelligence. I know what you mean though, the numbers add up so it works in the perfect vacuum that exist in the outside world lol.

FedEx linehaul truck driver. Work between 5-6 days a week (depending what I feel like), get paid $300 a day. With half the year working 6 days & the other half 5 days that comes to $85,800, before taxes.

After taxes, that same amount becomes $65,208 in my pocket.

Considering I don't have
>a wife
>alimony payments
>any children
>child support payments
>any pets

That is a very comfortable fuck living there. I do have a girlfriend, but none of that affects anything I've posted so far considering
>she doesn't live with me
>she pays her own way 100% of the time

So covid blow up your paycheck or were you guys always busy as is?

Engineer,
110K CAD, (86k USD)

Electrical, mechanical?

I'm essentially salary. I get paid the same whether I work 2hrs or all 14*. Which I have seen both. Translated, covid didn't do shit to me. All it meant was that for a period of time, certain truck stops whenever I was fueling up or getting snacks, I had to wear a mask.

*Clarify: DOT regulations state that a driver
>cannot work more than 14 consecutive hours
>cannot drive for more than 11 hours
Which means you have 3 hours you can be "on the clock" but doing other shit
>cannot drive for more than 8 consecutive hours without taking a 30min break

Hope that makes sense.

Research and Development for Chemical Company. $220K Base Salary. $65K Bonus Target. $65K Long Term Incentive Plan. So $350K if all goes well.

I spend $100/week at Asian Message Parlors getting my cock rubbed though.

Consultant here again. Want to know why he makes so little?

Because he works for someone else. That's pretty much it. I take home hundreds of thousands because I'm not spending 100k hiring an HR person and another 100k to hire an accountant and buying them benefits. We don't have an office, we keep our costs low, and we pay ourselves out and choose to do the hard things ourselves or contract out for a budget rather than hire a full time employee. When you work for someone else, the value you create will always go to someone else in that business in some way.

>Unemployed
>About 700 dollars a month in benefits
>$150 a month to live after rent and bills

>No one will hire me because I've been unemployed so long

Shit sucks. I keep applying for all sorts of jobs. Several every week. Done so for years.
They always say No or they offer me an unpaid internship with the "possibility to be hired afterwards" but they never do. Why would they, when they can just take another unpaid trainee in my place after me.

Yeah it does, friend of a friend is in trucking so I'm somewhat familiar with the laws. If you're doing well and enjoying yourself, more power to you.

I make nicotine gum for a private label pharmaceutical company, 40k a year, but it's pretty sweet because I just started too.

Report them if your in US. Interns MUST be paid if they do any work.

That sucks user. Have you gone to college or no?

what is this

Opioid epidemic.

Just finishing university, but have a 82k USD equivalent job lined up already.

>neet
>gov bucks
Actually quite happy I'm not working/ slaving away everyday. Who the fuck wants to work 50 hours a week just to pay bills

So when are you retiring has life style creep caught up yet?

What's the story with the pic?

I made a very conscious decision to not put those golden handcuffs on and I think it was the right one for me. I drive a 2010 Ford Explorer, saving up to buy a house outright so I'm still in an apartment, but I won't have any debt, so it's s trade-off.

Retirement seems... unlikely. I'm just not wired for it. Maybe when I'm older. But, I will pivot eventually. No point having all that money if I don't ever try to use it to build something I want to make, right? Especially with all the cool shit that's available now. AI drone swarms sounds like some fun shit

Wendy's chef
240k

This sounds like a joke but for some reason I don't doubt that they pay their "corporate chef" somewhere in that range.

unemployed $132.95/week

I live in Finland. There are limitations to what an unpaid intern can and can not do. 6 hours days, and a few weeks at most. Every company I've been in just keeps circulating intern after intern, they do all the shittiest, most inane tasks that have to be done but don't requiree much in the way of training or expertise. Cleaning, driving, doing all sorts of errands etc.

I have our equivalent of a college degree and a trade ("Vocational Qualification in Business and Administration") but shit like that wont get you employed. Sounds fancy but we always joke about how everyone with that degree wounds up as a clerk in a supermarket, and that's often true. Useless degree, honestly.

I've been looking into going to trade school again to get a trade that is actually useful, like construction or metal work or something, but in Finland we have limited study grants for these things, and I used mine already. Going to school now would mean that my benefits would be cut and I simply can't afford that.

junkies OD'd kid found starving in the back next to the rotting bodies
there's video if you care to look for it

Ok, not saying straight up quit and sit in your lazy boy waiting to die. Was more suggesting slowing down and picking a project every now and then. You got a couple of Rugrats and a wife that nags you to see the doctor at least?

Thanks /bro wheres the vid?

They aren't dead you FUCKING MORON they are just nodding out

Anyone a successful doomer? You know, borderline schizo, like to be alone, and have a job that pays the bills?

Any proof?

Is it hard to get minimum wage jobs in finland, like at mcdonalds or something? In the US, you'll earn more with minimum wage than with benefits, if you're unmarried and don't have kids. Idk if it's the same in finland.

i mean they fuckin look dead
story was years ago so apologies if im misremembering

YouTube. 2 mornings a week for $30k dollars a year

Faggot shut your mouth then

Crocs warehouse
42k

Not THAT hard, but there's still more applicants to jobs than actual jobs, and the fact that so many businesses can just "hire" an unpaid intern doesn't help. And in my case, I'm "long-term unemployed", which is for some fucking reason a stigma that some see as the same as "unemployable". If you've been unemployed for long enough, no one will want you. They view you as a some sort of liability.

Getting that minimum wage job isn't super hard, unless you're long-term unemployed. Then it kinda is.

So while I haven't looked at Poland, I have looked into the Nordic countries and those that surround them, and you might want to try and invest some in tech or project management in general. Norway, for instance, is replacing its sovereign wealth fund with tech money to ensure it doesn't run out, so they're making big investments in tech. Sweden is obviously getting a lot of Startup attention, as is Denmark, and Finland seems to be headed in that direction as well. Can't say for sure, but it seems that if you want to be in a growing sector basically anywhere, tech is it.

Wish I knew man lol. I've got a general plan for retirement, after a certain point with my investments I know I'll no longer "have" to work. I just don't know what else I would do? I want to make videogames, I want to work with AI to develop tools to bring sophisticated AI to people. I would really love to dip my feet into non-consumer IoT stuff.

No kids, but I've got a girlfriend. Also not a fan of kids, which is probably why it's so hard for me to imagine what I'd do if I didn't work.

This happened in my home county

Entry level developer at major tech company.
$154k + ~$30k in stock

God damn those salaries inflated fast, I remember when entry level was like 80k at FAANG and people were freaking out over it.

very unusual job, didn't expect a b/fag to do something like that, for how long have you been doing that and where is it?

I’m not straight out of college, so I’m at the top of the pay band for entry level. But yeah, I’m looking for another 30 - 40k when I get promoted.

Fair enough, figured you might have kids since they've kind of been our purpose forever. I don't need to wish you anymore luck so keep ballin I guess.

That's fucked user. Idk what to say other than good luck.

The south gon rise again
