    Simple. All salaries in all companies should be public to all employees of said companies.
    I said this yesterday! Stop stealing my ideas.
    I've said this for years. I've never bought into the salary taboo.

    Can you prove he stole it?

    Or at least I want it to be.

    I make about $130k a year, not counting variable pay like bonuses or equity.

    I make 75K in Connecticut, but I have a GED and haven't actively pursued a higher salary in almost 10 years.

    Sweet poop. I make $50k, but in SC where that buys a lot. Our household income is well into 6 figures though, near what Rym makes.

    Rym, you make literally twice what I do. Niiiiice. ^_^
  • muppetmuppet
    Our household income.is over 150k, but it feels like less each year.

    Yeah, my wife's salary is almost entirely eaten by student loans. It sucks. Ah well, we are also young. I have a lot of time to make more money, and realistically I make more than I can spend anyway.

    Medical bills, poor decisions, and other emergencies have put us pretty deep in credit card debt, but it's not the worst thing ever, it just holds us back.

    I'm far more concerned about rising gas and food prices. And the fact that my teen needs orthodonture and I have no idea where that money is coming from.

    Yeah. We still manage around 1 vacation a year to Europe, where we can dream about living in a sane country with good food.
  • George PatchesGeorge Patches
    Move further north, we're more sane.
  • RochelleRochelle
    Or West. We're fun!

    Godamn I need to get the demo of my game out there for more playtesting but life is way too busy... :(
  • SquadronROESquadronROE
    I could probably get a better salary too. Trust me, I really want to get out of SC. It's not easy, though.
  • MATATATMATATAT
    where you live matters a lot to your income. I think my job in another state i would make around 30k less.
  • RochelleRochelle
    What do you do?
  • SquadronROESquadronROE
    Who are you asking? I'd rather not give TOO many random details out on a public forum. I want to make the trolls have to at least do a Google search.

    I don't about your Sean. I already know EVERYTHING about you. Chase and I share secrets.

    I was talking to Matataatatatatatatatatatatatatatat.
  • SquadronROESquadronROE
    Our devs make something like $20-$30k less than that to start, yeah.

    Hah. Chase has no idea what I do, he assumes I am a shoe salesman or something.

    Yeah had I stayed at the place I interned I would be making $65k, but I could also rent an apartment for $350 a month (and have nothing to do ever)

    Yup. That's how it goes.

    My salary is a matter of public record:

    http://seethroughny.net/payrolls/executive/

    Look for "Olsen, Peter." They screwed up the Agency entry for two of the years. You can see my salary history since 2008. 2012 isn't done yet, so that information isn't in yet; my current pay rate is $54,790.

    So, in short: fuck you, Rym.

    Rym nearly makes, in one year, what I made from 2008 to 2011 combined. In fact, if you count that variable pay, I bet it's on par.

    Wow.

    Compared to people of similar experience and qualifications, I'm considered underpayed in this industry... I'm surrounded at all sides by people who make substantially more than I do.

    Also, if I were a dick, I could probably leave where I'm at (a company I actually care about!) and clear an extra 50-60k with some big bank or hedge fund.

    What I make is embarrassing for comparison. Life's comfortable though.

    Wow.
    I learned this lesson a few years back. Don't compare yourself to other people based on salary.

    Look at Rym? Does this look like a man whose money buys him happiness?

    That's the first Rym I found in GIS.

    Rym is an outlier. Also:
    So: fuck you, Rym.
    Also you can find my salary in one of these tables: http://www.opm.gov/oca/12tables/html/sea.asp

    :P Also notice that our rates have been frozen since 2010 so you can imagine how happy I am about that.

    Edit: What others have said. I currently am living comfortable, but have to budget even more because my partner is currently looking for steady work. I'm still sitting pretty and am currently looking for advancement opportunities.
