Yeah that’s a very big monthly pay

[-] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

$150,000/yr (yes big, less than median for software engineers in the US) is $2k/week, $8k/month

Edit: $2k/week after taxes because direct deposit is the context of this discussion

[-] kiagam@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

8k/month is 96k/year. Just multiply by 12

[-] brave_lemmywinks@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

How dare you question his math?! He gets paid 96k /150k for that!

[-] baines@lemmy.cafe 4 points 3 weeks ago

this is about a deposit so it’s take home

401k etc makes this fuzzy

Direct deposit is after taxes. Bi-weekly or weekly deposit is the most common.

They said the US. Ao mathing is hard.

Take home vs before taxes are very different numbers

What

I’m moving there the second the orange guy gets thrown out of the White House

$2k/month is considered a very good salary in my country

Btw how does 8k/ month make 150k/year? Do you get bonuses or shares or whatever? I heard that they give shares to employees in the US

As far as I know, $150K isn't less than the median for software engineers in the entire US . It is less than the median for Senior/Lead Software Engineers though, so maybe that still works for you. In a HCOL city, you likely get far more than this amount, but it wouldn't go nearly as far obviously.

That's not less than median in the US. That's in the upper half, probably upper third of software salaries. Silicon valley shit really warps perspectives.

If it's direct deposit, the $6k is probably for a two week pay period. That's the standard for most corporations in the US. Withholdings, including taxes and retirement accounts and health insurance, is going to take roughly 1/3, so this guy is making $9k x 26 = ~$235k (probably more like $250k/yr).
