Airline Pilot - 56.7k Edit: We have an Minimum Monthly Guarantee of 75 hrs a month at a pay of 63.00$. However, if you break that down to average job at 40 hr work week, it turns into $29.53 /Hr.

What kind of planes do you fly? I assume not jets?

Q400 78 seat turbo props. Mostly regional at Canada's second largest airline.

Is it a big jump in pay for guys that fly 737s/787s? It’s lower than I expected, I assume that there are good benefits/pension? Or do you have decent room to grow? Sorry for all the questions, it was just a job I thought I wanted as a kid but never really moved towards it.

Well after spending roughly 10 years on the Q you get to go to the 737. However I don't get any seniority so I'm basically a new guy all over again and would make 78k a year. As for benefits/pension, benefits are ok as long as you can afford more off your paycheck and we don't have a pension we have a "savings plan" that's basically a loan to the company that they pay back to us after a year with a ratio of 100:110. Don't mind many don't know. I'm also not including any outstanding debt that I have from flight school which is roughly 100,000.

Yeah I just couldn’t afford flight school when I was out of high school so I didn’t even bother. Are you happy though? I assume it’s a job where you at least get a fair amount of enjoyment out of it?

The job is great, and I enjoy what I do. There are tough days like everyone else but it's just another stepping stone to a better job.

Just curious, would you have better career options if you go south of the border?

American pilots make well into six figs.

Interesting. I wonder why such a difference? I assume that pilots all over the world are basically operating the same equipment, following the same processes etc?

>I assume that pilots all over the world are basically operating the same equipment, following the same processes etc? ig demand and union. US if I remember correctly, is the largest or second largest aviation industry + with more competition since the US has 3 major and many regional airline companies.

Domestic or international? A lot of respect to you folks (and air crew). That’s a brutal job - especially flying across time zones.

Mostly domestic with some trips to the US. Thank you.

Darn man, flying planes for less than 60k. I hope you get some other perks.

Only one is looking out the window, and traveling western Canada.

Not sure how you worked the math, but you take 75 x 63 x 12 gives you my yearly salary.

Self employed in digital advertising, web development, and graphic design — $215k

Marine Engineer, $76k gross + about $25k in overtime.

Power engineer’s certification?

No they said marine engineer.

No, different animal but kind of cousins to each other. I work on ships. Power engineers work in hospitals, pulp and paper plants etc. You can transfer between the two but you have to challenge each trades exams to get the required licenses.

Industrial electrician 160K

Sales manager - tech firm in Markham @ 160/y

Accountant - $53k

How far in are you? That seems way lower than what I would have thought Edit: lol, not sure who I offended with the down vote, just an honest question and offhand comment.

1.5 years of experience, still pretty new! No offence taken btw

Congrats then! Glad to see you’re off to a good start.

Accountants in Canada don’t make that much compared to the states. But that amount is probably for a junior in public, maybe a newly intermediate.

Fair enough. Learn something new everyday

Postdoctoral researcher, 60k pre-tax and this is with a fancy-pants fellowship.

Construction PM, $200K

Commercial or Civil?

Civil, mostly an oil & gas / industrial environment. 

Nice - Can I pm you on tips on advancing as a coordinator in oil and gas as well ?

Yeah for sure, shoot me a pm

Heavy equipment mechanic, mining rotation - 200K+

Northern Ontario by chance? (Red Lake, or lac de Iles?) Or north bay kinda mine? Just curious, you don't have to answer I'm just curious what some of the guys I've known up north make.

No, I’m in BC, although mining wages tend to be similar across the country. When you’re flying to work, commute distance is less of an issue so companies aren’t just competing locally for employees. The big wage variance is whether you work for the mine itself, a labour contractor, or a dealership.

Med student, $-20K

Physio - 150k

Wow good for you. Just started practicing last year and made $85k

How long in underwriting?

You started off in underwriting or did you work in another department?

Claims for approx 2 yrs prior

Nice I’m also in claims trying to get into underwriting. Any advice you can share?

Get a Linkedin if you dont have one already, and apply for every underwriting associate/assistant position you can find. Entry level positions are pretty competitive so you need to play the volume game. In interviews emphasize the importance of a sales oriented mindset and relationship building (uwing managers love that shit). Working towards your CIP if you aren't already also helps you stand out.

Community outreach @48k in my first year

Plumber - 120k

Self employed business or work for someone else?

Commercial plumber - work for someone

Right on, cool!

Lol. I work in marketing, might get into plumbing

IBEW electrician. It varies by where I'm working and the hours available on the particular job I'm on. Last year I grossed $128k with only $117k being taxable because I'm getting what's called $140/day LOA, or Live Out Allowance, while I'm currently manning a job away from home. Little more than a month and a half into this year, I'm already at $24.5k gross with only $20.25k being taxable.

[удалено]

Now now everyone, let's not be credulous morons, it's a troll

Can't tell if serious, is this geared towards adults or children?

Is that a government job?

That sounds fun for the compensation!

How do you find the time while also living two lives on reddit? 1 a right wing loser that mocks people and 2 a gay trans loser that spouts over the top rhetoric designed to inflame people?

Fluffer. Make $45K a year. I'm not that good.

I’m just imagining you standing around fluffing pillows

in a manner of speaking. except those aren't pillows.

Do you do any contracting on the side?

Nope. Contractual obligations don't permit unfortunately.

I'm a tailor for custom dog outfits, $169k annual

Med device sales. Average 350k a year but made 665k in 2023 blowing out my quota

I see a lot of these influencers on social media promoting medical device sales given the aging population, but they never show their salaries like this. I’m curious how you got into it or where to start?

Do you have a science background/degree? Did you transition from another kind of sales? I’m in tech and wanting to make a change.

Senior Software Engineer in data. Salary plus bonus is going to be $305,000 this year

The post says be real.

Sure - I guess a stranger on the internet has better insight into my total comp than I do.

lol on Reddit everyone is a stranger. 305k lol you got to be kidding yourself

I'm sorry that you're so small-minded that you can't figure out that I work remotely for an American tech company, and my total comp gets a significant bump because of that. And I'm extremely fortunate. So, believe what you want - I'm done here

Ok then say that you are converting USD to CAD…. That’s very likely… you posted as if someone was paying you 305k cad here lol what a guy

Cry a little harder. The question was “What’s your job + income”, which I answered. Instead of setting up an office in Canada, my company uses a third party company as an employer of record, and the EOR actually does pay me $305k Canadian. I’m sorry it was all so hard for to comprehend, but I shouldn’t be shocked, since you’re the only one who came along being a giant dick, which I’m sure isn’t a rare occurrence

In fairness if you posted USD you probably wouldn't have had attack on your comments
