Agreed. $500K is smaller than $1M

You can’t really get by on less than 501k

It’s peanuts. $42K per month (minus taxes around $26K). Idk who can possibly live like this! Ugh

A month right?

Why would you even work for anything less than $1M? Just remain unemployed

If per month, not bad.

It’s mid, fairly common.

Not enough to afford guac on chipotle on a regular basis. With how much my SO buys Starbucks, I’ll be lucky to be able to max my 401k this year. Would definitely recommend earning $1M per year

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?

looking for advice for my partner who is a data scientist at an ad agency in NYC.

Afterward he said he was burnt out to his manager and then was fired a week or so later, even though the project recovered. Is there grounds here for wrongful termination? How does he argue for more severance?

Is Operations paid the least at your respective firms? I was hired to a Client Service Delivery role with a heavy focus on project management.
