      $150,000/yr (yes big, less than median for software engineers in the US) is $2k/week, $8k/month

      Edit: $2k/week after taxes because direct deposit is the context of this discussion

        less than median for software engineers in the US

        What

        I’m moving there the second the orange guy gets thrown out of the White House

        $2k/month is considered a very good salary in my country

        Btw how does 8k/ month make 150k/year? Do you get bonuses or shares or whatever? I heard that they give shares to employees in the US

          As far as I know, $150K isn’t less than the median for software engineers in the entire US . It is less than the median for Senior/Lead Software Engineers though, so maybe that still works for you. In a HCOL city, you likely get far more than this amount, but it wouldn’t go nearly as far obviously.

          That’s not less than median in the US. That’s in the upper half, probably upper third of software salaries. Silicon valley shit really warps perspectives.
