Worst part is, I was making that 15 years ago and it was considered low then. Things have gotten way more expensive since then.

I don’t know how the young people are managing.

like

As a young person, I can confirm, we aren't managing. I worked at an agency that paid me hourly at $20/hr and when that position ended, I tried freelancing and set my rate at around $40/hr because I didn't think anyone would pay me a fair wage for my work and I desperately needed the work and even at $40/hr FREELANCING with no benefits, ive had clients essentially spit in my face and tell me thats ridiculously high. I've been out of consistent work for months and I have no idea what I'm going to do

because most in house editorial departments are perceived primarily as cost savings / profit centers, and they’re not really trying to hire freelancers with robust client bases

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.

Hi there, I had a question about 401k or Roth IRA. Should I put money into anyone of the two as an international student? I don’t see the point because I want to invest my money instead of saving it.

So should I save it and take it out later or just invest it?
