More of a life advice question. Is $90k a good salary to have at 25 (2 YOE)? I’m a digital customer success manager, w a liberal arts degree and based in Toronto. Not sure how much I should be making at this age to set myself up for long term financial health.

Nope, you’re poor. Those figures about median households in the US making 70k? It’s all lies by the politicians.

You’re supposed to be making 250k minimum a year in Ohio like the guy above. Actually, I take that back. He’s poor. 300k is what the rest of us have made since we were zygotes.

Yup, that’s good.

Given that only a small percentage of the population makes over $75k, you’re on a great path. It all depends what on if you have children to care for and the type of lifestyle you are attempting to live. Regardless $90k is very strong.

“In Toronto, a monthly net salary between C$3,500 and C$4,500 is considered a good wage for a single person. This corresponds to an annual gross salary of above C$55,000. A good earner is everyone getting between C$55,000 and C$72,000 before taxes.”

For 2 YOE based in the GTA, I would say you're in a good position compared to a lot of other people

I'm in the GTA, that seems like a good salary, but I'm not familiar with CSM salaries specifically. This might be a good question for the Toronto bowl. Agreed with the comment about the importance of what you do with your money vs how much you make.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll ask folks in the Toronto bowl for more market-specific insight :)

It’s not that good in tech. I’m 25 at 250k, most of my friends are over that by 25

Guidehouse I don’t pay rent I’ve got a paid off house, prop taxes are 1.1k a year

If you compare yourself strictly on age you’ll get a massive band that won’t make you feel good at all. You need to narrow down the band by being more specific age, job, title, etc.

If you don’t, you’re going to compare yourself with a bunch of people in stem at 150k+ post grad lol

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!

I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.

In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex. Two people do the same job but one is paid more or given a larger bonus “because they have kids and you live alone” or “because their family is struggling”. Is that an ethical factor if both employees do the same job at the same pace, quality, etc?
