Starting salary thread

have fun going to business trips to bumfuck arkansas

The only people who travel like that are the implementation staff. That's not me.

English degree.

$59k in my city as writer.
4 years later and I'm still at the same company, but making $78k. I can't complain.

Sounds legit

1st year Law Clerk 50k
2nd year Prosecutor 54k
3rd year Civil Firm Associate 72k + bonuses

>Project Management
>72k plus 5k sign on bonus

A low cost of living city in the south. Thank you god - I wouldn't be able to survive NYC

>trade meme
>21/hr plus no tip

Almost all analysts in the South dont get paid NY money though...

>In d.c. area
>Frog poster

I can think of a couple cities that should be nuked and Washington d.c. is o e of them

Devops
250k
No college meme.

I'm at the very top bucket of my analyst class in salary and bonus. The analyst next to me makes the same amount as me but is a year senior (his bonus is more than mine).

He's getting recruiter calls like once a week for private equity firms lol. Banking is stupid

I call bs. Every analyst within a class gets paid the same salary. No exception on that

Here's a bi-weekly direct deposit. This is after health insurance, taxes, and maxing out my 401(k).

I can send you a screencap of my bonus deposit next Monday if you want

gender studies degree
$600k starting plus $200k sign up bonus plus $400k monthly bonus plus free food

Are you me?

I got a gender studies degree from Devry. Got an offer out of college to be head of gender equality at Goldman Sachs. $750k starting, $1 million dollar signing bonus, and complimentary Ferrari.

Man am I glad I followed Tumblr's advice.

Nuke away. I'm only here to make money for a few years until I build up my skills enough to make a decent living elsewhere. Can't stand 95% of the people I interact with in this shithole.

I'm gonna guess Tax masters, consulting, or the highly improbable scenario where DC is way more expensive than NY.

What's there to mock? I work in external communications and PR for a major corporation. I write a lot of press releases and RFPs

Too many lies in this thread
>Unemployed meme'd Engineer
$0/Yr

Kansas fag here.

Run equipment for like $1k a week after taxes.

50 hour weeks.

Dropped out of junior college.

Twice.

Thats decent. My systemic trans racism degree is where the real money is at though.

>Mechanical Engineer
>Energy Industry
>$72000 annual

$300k / yr
math major

I'll go with an honest response...

$38,900 base with free dental,vision,health, and life insurance and a free (no contribution necessary needed) 2.5% a month deposited in 401k. Ends up being around $52k all in all. Base in my city is equivalent to $60k in LA in regard to cost of living.

I'm a graphic designer for a non profit, but very stable company. I hate my job. Slowly accumulating accounts to run my own business.

I'm on $35,000 working in communications feck, I am a bong tho.

110k
Computer science

I got my BSc in Computer Science 3 years ago. I started at 100k with 125k signing bonus paid over 4 years.

I graduated with honors from a top university though.

...

Why do CS graduates make so much in the US? In europe it's hard to get above 60k unless you're freelancing.

My cousin worked at Epic on their implementation team. Traveling to Europe occasionally.

After three years he quit without having another job lined up he hated it so much.

$60k in LA is tough to live on.

EE $70k+bnftsr + 10k bonuses first year
nova

No it isn't

I'm making 35k a year, I'm shocked that anyone making over 50k a year would use this website.

wages vary by location.
where I live $35k is pretty average for burger king employees and janitors.

well that makes me feel better, considering I live in an expensive as fuck area.

ah, sorry.

If you're making that in L.A., San Francisco, NY City, or Aspen then you might aim higher.

Multimedia degree
Fork lift driver $23,000.

Not bad user.

>Accounting grad

>all these six digit starting salaries
how the fuck did you swing that? connections? Beyond amazing resume? Luck?
teach me your secrets. I'm looking for a job. Graduated from Crim. Trying to get into social work cause most leo jobs are in a freeze and I want to do some good.

Thinking of going into sales next.

Masters in Mechanical Engineering bc I couldn't find a job after bachelors.

Friend from my college's anime chatroom hooked me up with a defense contractor in bumblefuck MD.

70k starting, next year 77k, this year 86k. Plus bonuses and cushy job.

>English major
>first year did temping at $12/hr, temp job ran out of extensions after 8 months, worked a grocery store sub shop for $10/hr
>second year $35k as a tech writer for an army contractor, they lost the re bid
>third year $40k as a tech writer for a utilities co op, left because it wasn't enough to support a family and their health care network didn't reach where I live
>currently working at another place as a tech writer for $62k.

Commute is shit but I'm at least starting to dig myself out of the financial hole I buried myself into by trying to be sole provider on a fucking humanities degree.

NVQ in aeronaughtical engineering
£28k

that would have been me, but instead i made an even dumber decision and went into a phd program.

>Devops
>250k
>No college meme.

Where does one find these 250k - 1mil tech jobs? When your searching for a job so many don't list salary and those that do it's always low as fuck. I should probably be networking but I don't like social situations very much.

3 month coding boot camp
programming
50k

Good work user, I'm an English major too. Worked plenty of shitty, irrelevant jobs after I graduated, but I finally got my foot in the door in business writing.

Because they have stricter quota on CS immigration than Europe.
And because for a 60k salary in Europe your company is actually paying 120k for muh socialism.

You just go to companies who pay that for graduates like tech, investment banking, law firms, hospitals...

what did you major in ? how did you get that job ? any tips you can give ?
congrats on the gig mate, with that salary in a low QOL city you must be wiping your ass with money, 3k bi weekly after insurance taxes and 401(k) maxed out ... living the dream

>how the fuck did you swing that
they didn't

$80k as hardware guy in tech
I want more but I'm just not good enough

you forgot "lying", remember what site you're on. for every user who is being honest and lucked out there's 20 shitposters.

no such thing as a chef at wendys u fucking fag

Thanks man. I'm not wiping any ass though, just saving every penny I can because this job is a hellhole. I'm trying to plan my exit in the next year or so to a private equity firm or something.

Trying to stay somewhat anonymous in my response.

I studied engineering in college and had some knowledge on what I currently do from interning at an engineering company. There was a lot of transferable knowledge but I had to pick up on the finance stuff very quickly.

I cover mergers and acquisitions in my sector and build company-wide financial models, and my engineering background allows me to get more detailed than your normal finance guy.

As far as tips, I don't know man. I consider myself lucky in my situation. Looking back I wish I had taken more finance / economics classes in college, but I really don't know.

>shitskin thinks my bitch is also a shitskin
hehe

$30k year working marketing and design as a contractor at a startup. Then moved to larger tech company doing what amounts to qa and testing new software products for $40k year. Free food and gym but shit benefits.

Could be worse. Freelance whenever I need extra money.

A social outcast dev is nothing but a code monkey, you're gonna make low 6 figs nig

This year I am going to make around $88k before my bonus. Different company, so no free 15% IRA contribution

What's wrong with D.C.? What about md in general? Particularly Bethesda area

No degrees, high school drop out and 44k
Living on site as a night manager in a motel with some reception work.
Most of my money is going aside while I figure out how I'm going to make good money later on, starting to look like real estate

>$100k
>CS

D.C. area is full of insulated stuck up liberals. Bethesda especially is infamous for being full of arrogant white and jewish people. Maryland though becomes different once you get out of the beltway. Baltimore suburbs are super republican. east shore is rural and lower class.

Stop lying

Nice, my friend works there as a software developer.

What did you pick up from your engineering position? Also, did you do any kind of post-grad before heading there, or any financial experience?

Curious because I majored in a healthcare field but find finance a lot more relevant. You're lucky to make that much in the South, I'm quite jealous.

$105,000 Wealth Management in NYC

The funny thing is I hate finance and I hate New York City

Why didn't they just let me go to trade school to become a mechanic.

Undergoing bsc geology

How'd I make bank with my degree, what masters should I go with

How long does shipping take?

>What did you pick up from your engineering position?

I learned a lot about the engineering side of my field and how to take those technical things and have them be reflected in a DCF model.

I don't just look at a company's 10K to build a model - I look at their assets from a technical standpoint and predict, based on public-available information (and private in some cases), how much they are worth and what potential upside is in place today and in the future. The models can be pretty compelling and hold more weight than if a finance guy just reads a balance sheet and plugs in basic (and usually unrealistic or flat out incorrect) assumptions.

Sorry for my vagueness. I'm trying to remain anonymous. Not a lot of people do what I do.

>Also, did you do any kind of post-grad before heading there, or any financial experience?

I worked at my co-op full time for a few months before transferring over to the bank.

I've been hearing that a technical discipline, coupled with finance experience, opens a lot more doors than strictly finance or technical experience. You could look into doing an MBA in the future if you are very interested in finance. You're broad background would be a strong plus IMO.

Thank God that I'm on the toilet because I just fucking pissed myself.

Did you graduate from Sanford Brown? Wtf man

First job out of college (Finance major) was in 2011 during the tail of the recession and couldn't find a job for shit. Had an internship but they didn't have the budget to hire me.

2011: stuck in crap retail job $27,000
2012: got additional pt time job $34k
2013: hired at large auto maker as a contractor $47k
2015: Hired direct with said auto maker $69k
2016 finished MBA.
To be continued.

I've been to DC and it's either
A: Niggers
B: White political snobs

Maryland really depends. Just stay out of Cecil County or even Harford County

Because you're stubborn

>as white as can be working in luxury usa & holland dirt factories, fuck your bitch on the plane to amsterdam

Comp Sci major at UW here, how do you like Epic? I'm only a Sophomore, but I've heard a lot of good things about them from my older friends.

Is electrical engineering a meme?

I'm in a similar position as you, although I make $51,000 American working for a local government. But same hours and lunch, and most of my work drys up at 2pm on Fridays when people take off early.

You work for Spirit? I'm gonna have an internship there this summer.
