My dad showed me his offer from 1998 from 'Coopers and Lybrand' (now PWC) for an SAP Consultant position. 100k + 5k bonus. I received the same number this year for 'Salesforce'. Like father like son?

Just catching up on this thread. Seems like A2 may have injected race to a discussion where it wasn't previously present but why does everyone have to demean him for speaking his mind? Thought we were all professional enough to take higher ground on a position with which we disagree, but maybe I'm in the minority here.

Post must be deleted now? A2 we all wish we got paid more (especially as minorities) but we've got be careful on yelling wolf as it can polarize us. To all, please just try to be cognizant of someone's background that is different than your own ☮️

PWC1, on the contrary, it's just mind baffling that salaries haven't changed that much. I saw the written offer from 1998. With food prices and house prices going up, it's just scary that these companies have kept salaries the same

@A2, I'm not white, but this post has nothing to do with race so I don't know why you even brought race into it

God I hate liberals.

We used to be proud of success. Now we act like coming from a family of success is a crime. Which begs the question, why even try to be successful if all you're going to do is damn your children to a lifetime of listening to petty, jealous bitches? You also don't know OPs circumstances. Perhaps his dad came from nothing and worked his ass off against the system and succeeded. That's the story you should be proud of but instead you chastise OP for it. Idiocy.

#humblebrag

Just shut up A2

Except for the part where OP isn't white. So there's that. When's the part where you stop wanking about the past and start living for the future?

A2 - as a minority, please do not profess to speak on behalf of us or even hijack this thread. It's a nice story OP

That's crazy! I see it the same way @OP! That's a beautiful thanksgiving weekend connection! Thanks for sharing!

I'll assume you're not white A2...instead of bashing you should realize you could be the parent in this story one day.

It's not flaunting. OP's sharing a piece of his families story. This has quickly escalated

A2 - my Dad came from Pakistan. He worked 3 jobs during undergrad including full time at McDonalds and full time at a gas station. He changed universities 3-4 times (back and forth between community college and regular 4 year schools).

Not sure how that makes him privileged. It just means he wasn't lazy.

100k 20 years ago a shit load more than 100k today. Sounds like Daddy is better than you

A2 you privileged snot. Who are you to sit on your smart phone and whine about your circumstance? It's offensive to those who work hard and to your own parentage. All we can do is move forward trying to better our lives and the lives of those around us. You're not entitled to anything beyond your own life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. If I give my children a gift through my hard work, it doesn't mean your children or anyone else has the right to it as well.

AC 2 focking victim card again. Im a minority but when will you self-entitled libs put it to rest already??

My Dad worked for KPMG in the late 90s and also an even better salary and benefits package than I do now. He said there wasn't as much competition either. Also just throwing it in there that he was the first of his family to get a white collar job.

SAP rode that wave like a mofo. Everyone wanted it; no one could implement it. Now, all we do is upgrade and try to add "cool, must have" add ons.

Your dad is a CLC vet? Ask him if it was STT? Was it out of NYC. Grew up at 1301 Ave of the Americas there. That firm was awesome
