I’m seeking a raise or a new job that can give me more. I was wondering if you are willing to share how much you make and how much you expect to make your next promo or job jump. I know each industries and role is different but I thought it would be fun to hear others since this is an anonymous board.
I’m a data analyst making 78k and looking for 85k!

I expect to take a loss of about one quarter to one third of what I was making. I ran the lab at a small chemical place for 30 years then new owners downsized a lot of the longer term crew to get kids who will work cheaper.

Nothing I can find is in the range you get after being a Lab Manager for 30 years because that sort of position is usually promoted from within to get people who know the company's ways.

I was making 60K and now it looks like I'm going to have to get by on 45 K or so despite medical bills for the woman I love making even 60K seem insufficient.

I hate capitalism.

I was making 137k. Got laid off, was laid off for months, and accepted a job making 105k. Not exactly the direction I want to go in, but 105k is better than 0.

I’ve been in T&D for roughly 6 years now and I’m only making $24/hr. I’d like to be making a minimum of $30/hr. If i could stay in the field, I’d be cool with it, but i need more flexibility with my work. Something like an R&D position within manufacturing would be nice. I have all the technical skills such as design, CNC programming, GD&T, manual machining, etc. I also have a very analytical brain and I can picture how things function with minimal imagery.

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?

I can do referrals to Qualtrics feel free to DM me here if you either work an engineering or are customer facing.

Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?
