It's high anywhere. On Fishbowl it's average. For Data Scientists it's borderline poverty.

A1 no I moved to industry when I realised I wouldn’t make director. I’m now 35 years old, making 190k base with a pretty much guaranteed 60-100k a year bonus in the entertainment/media industry.

Pretty low for Monaco. Great for Mogadishu.

What do you mean? It’s far more than “high” in most countries, unless you’re saying “300k of another country’s currency”

Like in general? In the entire rest of the world? Yes. Absolutely, easily, yes. It’s a VERY high salary in the US as well.
I read on BBC recently that around a third of the world’s population lives on less than $2 a day, just for perspective.

It depends on what you’re buying and desired standard of living! Prices are high everywhere. I’m in Thailand now and expected gold/white gold prices would be lower as an example and prices are much, much higher than what you’d get at Tiffany, David Yurman after forex adjustment + accounting for taxes. We even listened into locals negotiate and fail lol It could be a misalignment of expectations on my end though or poor pricing

To give you an example, Singapore and NYC are the two most expensive cities in the world currently and $300k doesn’t go very far in nyc, but in singapore you can easily be able to afford to mortgage a decent condominium because taxes are way lower and health insurance is paid for by employer and govt. Taxes are the largest expenses in your life in US and especially coastal cities with not many benefits. So yes $300k is high even by global first world standards
In NYC i would say you need to be making in $600k range minimum to afford similar quality and standard of living.

I make 500k slinging drugs on Wall Street. And 50k as a customer success manager… priorities man.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
