Ask Lemmy

I'm a waitress, I make about 60K USD give or take 5K. It varies significantly throughout the year, though. In Chicago, that's enough to support a family of five.

I'm a production artist working for a small production studio. I work from home and my hours are super flexible. So long as I get my work done they don't care how long and when I start work. The pay kinda sucks since it's about $30k a year but I'm a recent graduate so I understand.

Marketing Director for a company that hosts in person conferences. $105 base with around 15k in bonus per year. I work remote from home. I enjoy the flexibility it gives me. Health insurance for me and my wife is like 14k a year though, so don't like that.

I've been in engineering leadership in early and mid stage start ups in San Francisco for a number of years. Comp varies a bit (the earlier stage the company the more ISO equity I get - for anybody not familiar these are options that are basically worth nothing but in the event of an exit opportunity might be worth tremendously more - vs working for a public company you'd often get RSUs that you could immediately sell or divest) but base in the low 300s. This is in the bay area, so actual purchasing power when compared to cost of living is more like mid 100s elsewhere in the US.

OP won the thread before the first response arrived.

Pharmaceuticals in the US. Fairly early in my career, get paid just short of $100k/year. All it took was getting a doctorate and selling a little bit of my soul.

Sometimes I miss academic research. But at the end of the day I'm getting paid about 4x as much while working 1/2 the hours, by my estimate I'm 8x as happy now. Plus, there's something to be said for working on projects that actually affect people's lives instead of overstating the impacts of my research to compete for a dwindling pool of federal grants. Seeing the policy changes in the US this year, I'm very glad I left academia but I'm not convinced I'm 100% safe from changes made at the FDA.

Union electrician in a strong Union city in the north east part of the USA. Make 100k a year just working 40hrs a week, but work has been slow the past few years so I've made under that the last 2 years. The money is good for sure, but the retirement and health coverage for my whole family is the real reason for the career

IT, vulnerability management, just under $80K USD. Judging by other comments im solidifying my opinion that im underpaid, although ive heard thats pretty common for gov IT work.

I'm a part-time janitor. The pay sucks.

$60k USD as a "supervisor" of sorts in a factory, more hands on work than hands on coffee type of supervisor.

Very high cost of living where I am so that salary has me renting someones garage "apartment" to live in just so I can have some sort of a savings otherwise I'd be living paycheck to paycheck.

IT Networking in Healthcare. Used to be administration side but recently moved to networking a year ago. Had the same job now for 19 years and it was my first job out of tech school where I worked help desk for the first 5 years. Used to do a lot on the telecom side but now it's mostly setup firewalls, program switches, and know cloud services to setup virtual networks. I know I am underpaid at 87k, I am being promised a raise soon with hopes of getting to 95-100k but even that is below what I should be around. I may have a new opportunity later this year which looks to be around 110-120k if I can pull it off. I want to move on not only because the pay but also because going 19 years at a place that's 24/7 with bare minimum holidays takes its toll on you since your basically on call all the time. Outside that the job it's self is fine and challenging at times.

I do physical therapy with school kids with disabilities. Almost $60k but only paid for 190 work days. People think we get paid for all those holidays and breaks, but we don't - only paid for the days that we work plus five sick and vacation days. My husband makes a few times what I make as an engineer and my kids are grown (but not entirely off the payroll), so I feel pretty lucky to have the life that we do.

I help people do science and math with their computers. I make around 100k, double the median income in my area. My commute is an hour and a half each way, at least, and sometimes I only have around 3 hours to myself after I get back from work before I need to go to bed. Still, I have it better than most (although, with the current attack on science in the US, uncertainty about clients is rising...)

I'm a Scrum Master working in Financial Technology. I made $145k last year although that was because I worked a ton of overtime. My base is closer to $130k. Although I do have to provide all my own benefits

First year post-grad! Pay is 1500 USD/month but it's nice getting paid to study, I suppose. Also doing TA too.

tech. decent. used to be pretty good. can still be pretty good but its pretty striated now with shit jobs, decent level, and quite nice.

I‘m a Junior Software dev in eastern Germany. I earn around 50k€

I work in sales in the field of factory automation and robotics in the Detroit area. I make $65k a year plus some other benefits. One is that they pay for good health insurance for the whole family. I will likely not have a job soon due to tariffs and get back into teaching.

I do GIS, which is basically computer mapping, for an energy company. Because we work in the energy sector, we're unionized with the electricians and with that we have a fantastic pay scale and benefits. USD I make ~$70k/yr

I own a small business consulting firm that the serves tech and energy industries. Generally, pay is good in consulting. Owning a company can be risky financially - we've had good years and bad years.

I'm in technical presales. I go with salespeople and explain the IT infra, services and cybersecurity we sell. Should be $190k+ this year.

I tend to watch some Thai series (mostly on Netflix), so I find these numbers interesting.

I think that this salary is considered to be quite high for Thai standards, but knowing the prices, does not allow for lavish luxuries like expensive sports cars.

How long do those 15 episodes take to film generally?

Nice try fbi
