You are lucky then, mine it was about 1 year ago and it was 60k but I don't think its close to enough for my family.

First position I got in my field was 35k in 2022. I stayed at my job I got while still in college, making 30k. Graduated 2019.

$32k in nyc in 2002. I know a company that was hiring assistant sales reps at the time for $21k. Can you imagine?

I started at $25k in 2005 in NYC 😭 ramen & the cheapest spaghetti I could find practically every night

$50k-ish in Philadelphia back in 2013

$24k in 2004. I was so happy. Now, I need at least $95k to stay afloat. I ain’t even there yet. So, yes, I’m drowning.

Man I think like 30k. Working at some local fast food joint.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
