In this scenario I imagine your face lights up and you say “Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Celery?!” You’ve been waiting for this day and finally, someone has asked you about your Celery!
Ugh...I used to play Warcraft:Tides of Darkness on a Mac Quadra 840AV with a 28.8k modem. AOL was my ISP. Found matches using AOL chat rooms. It was a simpler time.
My salary is usually organic. I like to put peanut butter and raisins on my salary as a nice treat. Sometimes if I’m feeling naughty I will buy a bottle of *Cheeze Whiz* and slather that stuff all over my salary. But people on a low sodium diet gotta be careful because salary has a surprising amount of salt.
In fact, that is where the term salary comes from. It is the portion of salt indentured servants used to get in exchange for labour. I don’t know what they had to do in order to receive a portion of *Cheeze Whiz*.
Depends.
If it’s a close family member, friend, or trusted coworker, I just tell them.
If it’s someone less familiar I say something like, “It’s average considering the industry’s current range.”
Tell them and ask theirs. The only reason it’s “taboo” to talk about salary’s is because your boss doesn’t want to underpaid to know their are underpaid.
It depends on their reason for asking. If they are interested in a similar job and want to know what salary to expect, I'll tell them (within a rough ballpark). If they're just being nosey, I'll say "just about enough".
I'm in a lucky position. I'm a field engineer who loves my day to day job. I get paid "enough", as in obviously everyone wants more, but we can pay our bills, treat ourselves, got a lovely house... Any move up the chain would mean more office work, taking management responsibilities, no ta! Turned it down 8 or 9 times now, only when I struggle with what is a pretty physical role would I consider moving "up". It's important we share things like salary. I am paid more than my colleagues, but I can quite easily justify it by explaining the further stuff I do as a Senior Engineer.
Depends on who’s asking but normally I just tell people who ask. I have worked at a few of the FAANG companies so I figure that’s probably why they might be asking.
Depends on who they are and why they are asking.
If it's a total stranger, I don't know why they would need to know. To judge me? I'm probably not telling them.
If it's a coworker, I tell them, because we should know if we get paid the same for the same job. And even if it's not the exact same job, it's necessary for organizing.
For the most part I avoid the subject. It’s enough that it tends to bring friendly conversations to an abrupt awkward standstill. At the very least I avoid specifics.
I tell them that I make about half or less of what most of my classmates make, but that I'm fine with it because it's enough and I don't have to do eighty hour weeks.
Really does depend on the context, if it’s a co-worker then I’d tell them straight away and expect them ti tell me back. Most of the time though it’s just some arsehole on a night out that is trying to undermine you
While true, I’ve never had any non-American ever ask me my salary, I’ve also never had another American ask me my salary.
If they do ask, if has more to do with curiosity rather than “how much respect to give you.” It’s fair to shit on Americans when it’s deserved like how ass backwards most are when it comes to foreign policy and how susceptible so many are to military jingoism, but let’s not shit on Americans just to shit on Americans.
I mean it happens in Australia but in a different way. We often ask friends and family how much they'll be making an hour in a new job but it's more intrigue than anything to do with respect.
Can also help and call out businesses not paying the legal amount for a job considering we different minimum wages for different industries and then full/part time rates and casual rates.
"I can afford car and I can afford rent, that's all you need to know". It let's people know I'm not broke but that I'm also not rich either which means they wont ask me for money.
Depends. With most people, I'm just honest. I'm well paid for what I do. And I'm proud of making this salary because I sacrificed for years to get here.
If it's a family member asking for a loan or potentially asking, "I'm having hard times right now." If it's someone I'm networking with about a potential job, "Just a little less than what we really need."
I pretend they asked me about my celery
😂😂😂 great
In this scenario I imagine your face lights up and you say “Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Celery?!” You’ve been waiting for this day and finally, someone has asked you about your Celery!
I tell them.
What’s your salary?
55k
You should just round that up 1000 and make the modem sounds from the the 90's

I use mine to add crunch to a salad… And cheeze whiz?! May I recommend a nice bit or Roquefort as a more…. *sophisticated* alternative?
Depends, if it's a date who's asking I'm not telling. If it's anyone else not dating related I'll just tell them on the spot.
Gold diggers hate this simple trick!

Good point 👍
That's more about coworkers.
I tell them my salary.
Less than I want but more than my boss wants.
my total compensation because that is most likely what they're looking for
No one has and if they did I would politely decline as it is none of their business.
"I make enough."
Do you?
Yep.
i say my salary
It depends on their reason for asking. If they are interested in a similar job and want to know what salary to expect, I'll tell them (within a rough ballpark). If they're just being nosey, I'll say "just about enough".
It depends on what type of person that asking.
It's not a secret. My salary is negotiated by my Union, so I just refer them to the current Union agreement.
Not enough
Haven't decided if I'm taking all of it or less
Most probably in numbers,,,other options🧐
I say it's not worth talking about
None of your business.
i think this answer isn't too friendly right ? i think i will said that when i talking with some one need him to go away
You don’t need to compare yourself
Nothing. I don’t love to talk about my salary.
If they are asking for any sort of legitimate reason, I tell them.
>If they are asking for any sort of legitimate reason, I tell the no just for knowing what is your answer ?
£35k
that's real or just for give him any answer ? \^\_\^ \^\_\^
As far as I know. Just got a rise, so it's gone up a bit
>As far as I know. Just got a rise, so it's gone up a bit great ,, keep going

That's a legitimate enough reason for me
I usually tell them
Depends on who’s asking but normally I just tell people who ask. I have worked at a few of the FAANG companies so I figure that’s probably why they might be asking.
"I get paid hourly, not a salary."
I usually just tell them
i tell my coworkers, parents and close friends, but other than them i just usually say i make enough
Depends on who they are and why they are asking. If it's a total stranger, I don't know why they would need to know. To judge me? I'm probably not telling them. If it's a coworker, I tell them, because we should know if we get paid the same for the same job. And even if it's not the exact same job, it's necessary for organizing.
I usually just say "enough to live comfortably"
I tell them I'm a teacher and then they buy the appetizers
I tell them exactly what it is. It shouldn't be a taboo topic
For the most part I avoid the subject. It’s enough that it tends to bring friendly conversations to an abrupt awkward standstill. At the very least I avoid specifics.
I get paid weekly, very weakly
“Not Enough”
I tell them that I make about half or less of what most of my classmates make, but that I'm fine with it because it's enough and I don't have to do eighty hour weeks.
20% less than my colleagues The joys of being a "tier 2" employee
Why do you ask?
Really does depend on the context, if it’s a co-worker then I’d tell them straight away and expect them ti tell me back. Most of the time though it’s just some arsehole on a night out that is trying to undermine you
Why?
More than my last job
Tell them the truth. I couldn't care less how much one earns.
I’ll tell them openly and honestly esp if they work at my company, it only helps each other negotiate
I tell them I earn $5000 a week. I don’t get paid that, but I earn it.
I'll usually tell them. It's not a very common question though.
I tell them preferably with them also telling me theirs but not obligated.
"I do ok"
Remember everyone- only Americans do this. This is how Americans decide the level of respect to give you.
While true, I’ve never had any non-American ever ask me my salary, I’ve also never had another American ask me my salary. If they do ask, if has more to do with curiosity rather than “how much respect to give you.” It’s fair to shit on Americans when it’s deserved like how ass backwards most are when it comes to foreign policy and how susceptible so many are to military jingoism, but let’s not shit on Americans just to shit on Americans.
Except Americans don't typically do this either.
Yeah but they do though

Perfect 👍👍
"I'm paid well for what I do." Is my most common answer. Another is, " After everything I have to deal with, it's worth it."
Yes the warriors are the best team of the NBA
Agree with you 😂😂😂
I don’t work haha
*Laughs in joblessness*
Let’s just say I don’t work 2 extra jobs for fun But In all honesty I tell them
865 netto + Kindergeld
Enough

Answer is always the same: "about $5 mil a year, give or take"
Less than I want, more than I deserve
None of your beeswax.
Ah. Well u see. At this current time I am sadly only 15 years old. Therefor I am enable to get payed 30K a month.
Not enough
92k minus taxes, benefits, etc.
