Sounds like he’s a good magician since he just made you disappear

A really good friend is married to a guy who when we met him he was a developer and switched careers to become a magician shortly before they married. At first I had a similar reaction to this. Then he worked on this show, and he invited us and it was the first time I saw him do this. I was really, really impressed. It was absolutely amazing, and entertaining, and you could tell it was impressive quality work all around. I went twice, to take someone else the second time because I'd been so impressed. Both times people came out emotional, crying happy tears; literally. It was that good, it was one of those shows were you felt real things, made you think. Plus he's actually making quite decent money off of it. And he's very very happy doing it. All my walls around this whole magician thing totally fell after that. It can be a legit job, if done seriously.

So what I'm saying is, shelve this with "I'm a writer, in writing a book" category. There's a fat chance this is someone who just doesn't really do anything or doesn't want to do actual work and this is cue for that, but some people actually DO write amazing books and live off it. And some people create amazing magic performances.

Very much 🤡

I went to high school and college with a guy who was into magic. It was always a bit…cringey even if he was decent at it. Fast forward, he now has a huge, elaborate arm tattoo dedicated to magic themes (cards, scull with a top hat, etc). It’s hilarious. He had to live with his grandma for a bit but she’s super conservative so he had to hide this corny ass tattoo from her.

My company historically paid base comp and bonus based on years out of law school. Level 1 is 1-9, and Level 2 is 10+. Diff if $50k+, easily. My team’s work isn’t distributed any differently based on seniority, and we’re all doing the same subject matter. We have a new GC changing it so bonus can be higher (but not lower) if you take on more work.

Do you think this is a fair system? Is it right to push for equal comp, especially given that there’s a new reward system for doing more work?
