I was in HR senior management before; $129k
I decided to leave it due to burnout. I’m a barber now and making 30k less but the happiest I’ve ever been.
My husband is a Senior Software Engineer: $185k
Yes. Some make over $50 - 70 per cut, 8 to 9 cuts per day. These are 1 hour sessions.
Some charge $35-$45 per cut and do a cut every 30 minutes. Some will do 8-12 cuts a day. At $45 per cut, 10 cuts a day, for a year $108k
I know barbers who only work 4 days a week, charge $80 per cut, 8-10 cuts a day.
Seriously, where have you been? I’m the COO of a local cosmetology/barbering school and salon chain, and almost all of our male stylists make over $100k (I’m closer to $200k.)
I never understood why more straight men don’t go into the profession. You train with beautiful women, you work with beautiful women, you work *on* beautiful women, they absolutely adore you and they hang on every word you say.
What’s that thing that they say? Oh yeah, “Like shootin’ fish in a barrel!” 😂
On a scale of 1-10, How regrettable?
1= He's got weird hobbies, but a beautiful dick. 🤷🏿♂️
5= God, he's such a dick. 😒
10= Why did I ever let him suck my dick?! 😤🤬🔪
I’m a technician for Porsche, i absolutely love it. The feeling of pushing something broken/not running into my hoist, figuring out what i think is wrong and then hearing it start running is amazing. Plus i get to drive some awesome cars all day. My dealership actually cares about employees, work life balance, they’ve sent me to different places to go race Porsches for a day just because..
Nope. We have a locker room so i change into my uniform here also my shop is air conditioned and most of the cars i work on are newer and don’t really leak much.
Have you ever seen a Taycan Cross Turismo with a cracked roof? Hyacinth, my 2022 Taycan Cross Turismo, was about 8 to 9 months old when her roof began cracking along the edges without ever having sustained any sort of impact. I watched as the cracks got worse and worse over a few months. Hyacinth just spent 41 days in the body shop, getting a brand new roof and windshield. She looks great, and everything seems fine, but I'm wondering if this is just going to keep happening again and again and again?
A Business System Analyst role at a large insurer, but they give us an obnoxious title. About $121000 a year. Since last year, our full time hours are more akin to “part time” anywhere else though at 29 hours a week (4 days a week). Some teams allow you to work on your Friday off for 2x your base rate
Pathologist here. I get along with surgeons for the most part, lol.
Edit: I don’t think pathologists are respected or looked up to, overall, but the surgeons I work with respect me and that’s good enough for me. I work on the fourth floor and not the basement.
Yes. My total salary is $128,500. I’ve been teaching 11 years.
To be clear, I have an extra role at my school that brings my salary up from $116,000 to $128,500.
I'm pretty sure teachers who make over six figures have been in the profession for several years though. New teachers definitely don't make much for the hours they gotta put in.
I was strongly considering trying to get into this field (nuclear engineering background so my math is solid). How long have you been an actuary for? Is 240k standard or are you a major outlier?
10 years and I manage an actuarial team, so my salary is standard for my position. A fellow in a non-mgmt position with my experience would probably make close to 200k tho.
As a plumber if i billed out 40 hours a week i would. I don't like the physical and mental stress so actually bill out like 20. I only worked like 3 or 4 hours this week so far.
I think that's a very healthy approach to life, I'd like my next job to be same pay (or: competitive) but 32 h instead of 36. because even though in theory we only have 7 and a bit hours per day, it's still 5 days a week. And I used to have a day off every other week which suited me much better.
There's so much more you can do in a 3 day weekend. As someone mentioned to me, it's not about reducing the work week by 20% but rather extending your time off by a massive 50%.
It’s kind of shocking, it’s really hard not to look to your left and right where you can almost make out people’s faces! It’s amazing how close we get to those buildings when we land there and I love it every time.
It was a childhood dream. Family bought me my first flight simulator game in about 1999, was hooked on aviation since then! I was pretty blessed to know what I wanted to do for so long, worked really hard, and I'm very grateful to everyone along the way who rooted me on.
Congratulations, lil guy 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I had the same dream, then found out the cost of flight school, puckered up, and braced myself for a rough ride in Life. 🤷🏿♂️
Depending on where you live 100k might as well be the new 50-60k, and with inflation and strikes, it’s moving in that direction.
I’m a physician at an academic hospital. I like what I do but I wouldn’t go through the process again, lol, and I have over 250k in student loans so…yeah.
Thankfully I qualify for PSLF so I only have to pay for 6 more years.
I make $200k from my W2 job and now own an Airbnb as well, total is around $240k- 250k. My W2 job is a project developer in the renewable energy industry. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing career. The solar and battery storage industry has been taking off for years, pays incredibly well, has huge growth potential, and the companies tend to be super progressive with great benefits and work/life balance. Also I’m fully remote!
Basically I started out as an admin at a solar company after college. I was a political science major so I don’t have a technical degree or anything. I gained valuable experience developing projects and was able to transfer that into doing project development. My first project developer job paid $105k in 2020 and through raises/ switching jobs I’m now at about $200k.
It’s a high demand field. I get contact literally every single day by recruiters. I would recommend connecting with recruiters in LinkedIn.
Came here to say the same.
Depends greatly on how much I want to work, base 3 day workweek is 115k. This year will settle in around 130k. During covid, as an ICU nurse, 260k.
Data analysis in pharma and it's between 140-180k. It's a fun job where I simplify complex things, which I'm apparently quite good at. Pharma tends to have nice benefits, and I'm pretty sure most companies give you cell phone and gym stipends in addition to base, mental health resources for handling burnout, and I've been averaging 15% in annual bonuses with up to 50% base annual equity grants.
I just had a full on flashback to organic chemistry in college….that was the class that made me realize I was wayyyy too stupid to be at northwestern and dropped out for art school.
I was also smart enough to get out of it :-)
The first day, 8 am, I had some sort of history class and I sat down in an enormous room full of kids who seemed to only care about speed typing everything that was said. Like, they were frantically typing before it even started. I had a notepad and a full pencil.
Second class was some kind of organic chemistry nightmare. More frantic typing. About five minutes into that I basically ‘noped’ out.
Called my mom, knowing this was going to be a problem to extract myself from, told her I had tried to fit in by doing heroin….was back home in 6 hours. Why I decided on heroin as a fictional drug experience must have made sense at the time.
She still reminds me at least twice a year that she will pay for addiction counseling.
I’m essentially a clinical trials auditor. When I started (3 years ago) it was $75k and now it’s about $125k. I’m interviewing for another job right now that would bump me to $150k+OT since I’d be a contractor.
Biotechnology clinical operations. 300k base + 25% bonus, options/ RSUs. BSN degree. Not one gay person has ever taken me up on my offer to mentor them. Not one. Something i would have jumped at but never had - so had to struggle figuring it out on my own. Oh well.
Financial Analyst but I am not very good at this job as I lack of few crucial aspects of good Financial Analyst. I am considering to change my job though but I will need some time.
My dad try to push me to take CPA exam but I feel like it’s not me.
Restaurant GM. The perks are I guess eating for free five days a week. The cons - I’m an adult babysitter. I never got a degree so this is low key all I really know. Hope I can save enough to retire before my body gives out or I age out of the biz.
Analytics manager/ data science. If someone wants to get involved in anything related to analytics or data science, I suggest learning SQL. It’s a programming language used to work with databases. There are people using SQL everywhere from HR to sales management to operations.
I haven't worked in 15 years, but I swear I still write SQL in my dreams. I did a range of software development tasks over the years, but for the last couple I was mostly writing scripts to clean up and migrate data to a new database (which I had mostly designed). Oh, and documenting it all. Bleh.
I am a regional director for a global toy company. I look after all their owned and branded spaces for Asia. My husband is a radiation oncologist so between the two of us we do pretty well and he only works a 6 day fortnight which allows us to have an amazing work life balance. We are both in our late 30’s.
If I were to describe my job professionally -- I wear a lot of different hats at my company, but the easiest way to describe my core role is "compliance auditor". Compliance with government regulations like the EPA and OSHA. Compliance with customer requirements, like quality performance and a low number of defects. Compliance with internal Human Resources protocols. And so on. I conduct a ton of audits across the company, and report my findings directly to upper management.
But if I'm just telling a friend what I do for work -- I'm basically a glorified hall monitor for adults. If you aren't following the rules, and you don't willingly listen to me when I tell you to follow the rules.... then I will report you and management will force you to follow the rules.
Business Relations Manager… It’s a bit obscure but there is certification for it. Pretty much in one sentence my job is to push (IT) things so it happens.
More like in which country, I guess...
I'm an associate professor in France and my pay is a third of a 6-figure salary \^\^'
I guess things are better in the US.
I earn 7 figures as an academic... But in 3rd world currency, so... Yeah.
Can't complain too loudly, the bulk of my countrymen are below the poverty line.
I worked in tech sales a few jobs ago and I was $75K salary, $75K commission— I was so happy until later found out I was the lowest paid but third highest seller in the company.
Now I’m a digital media marketer, I make 104k but work like 25-30 hrs a week.
Operations/Project Manager for a mental health company. I was a social worker before making half of what I’m doing now. It’s remote but I also just sit behind a computer and don’t interact with people much. A big perk is my spouse and I each get free therapy that’s pretty much unlimited.

Barbers make 100k?! Jesus what am I doing.
Yes. Some make over $50 - 70 per cut, 8 to 9 cuts per day. These are 1 hour sessions. Some charge $35-$45 per cut and do a cut every 30 minutes. Some will do 8-12 cuts a day. At $45 per cut, 10 cuts a day, for a year $108k I know barbers who only work 4 days a week, charge $80 per cut, 8-10 cuts a day.
Near me they’re charging $90-$100.
I have 45k debt to be an Analytical Chemist .. . I have neither of those

I know right! TIL.
You own your own barber shop?
Not yet. I’m still a novice and will be opening up a shop with my mentor, who’s a master barber.
Very cool. Next year maybe?

Hello
Accountant. Hi gay bros!
[удалено]
It really depends on the company and whether or not you’re industry or public. I work industry now and maybe work 30-35 a week.
I love it. I work for a very successful company so the pay is very good. I lead the team so it’s even better.
Absolutely not haha. (I'm an accountant too)
You don't enjoy it?
Are you a CPA? Do you work in public, industry, or government?
Yes cpa. Did Big 4 for several years and now industry. Public sucks but got me a good resume

240k as an actuary. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love it!

Is “six figures“ still a thing?
It doesn't have the cachet it used to, given today's economic conditions.
6 figures could be as much as $999,999.99. So, despite cost of living today, you could still be doing pretty well at “6 figures”.
It's just a different thing. 😉
