This is the way. I'm at 163k fully directing an information security consultant 8 man team and im high all day lol

£42k WFH cooooder, I get up mid-morning and do very little throughout the day.
Turned on my linkedin "looking for work" status this morning just out of interest.
By the end of the day I've had 9 recruiter spam messages offering anywhere from £50-80k.

I like my job so how do I use this to negotiate a pay rise? I'm over the hustling stage of my life, dreaming of being an influential industry type, I just wanna be able to get a mortgage on a nice house and focus on my hobbies now.

>>50096129
I negotiated my way from £69 to £88k literally sending screenshots of LinkedIn offers I was getting to my Manager

>Dreaming of being an influential industry type
As long as you spout diversity, inclusion, Blockchain you can take the new jobs with a significant pay ie and still do nothing - as long as the company is run by boomers or other spaff spouters. Furthermore seing as you are also a fellow bong born on this wreched island, make sure to include words like cloud, digital, efficiencies and dont forget to banter with smithy and bazza about the weekly footie results.

Because it's larp, they are £20k Tesco workers in reality.

>>50096320
And super is included in that number

>>50096321
Because they spend too much on avocado toast

>>50095641
100k is low middle class today faggot

Speaking from experience, and not to ruin your vibes, but smoking all day and working from home is a recipe for serious mental health issues. I didn’t notice mine creeping up on me until it was really bad. I do not recommend giving into your cravings, as soon as you get used to being high all during work it becomes very hard to untangle normal sober life.

>>50096321
1) it's gross
2) a one bedroom studio is 2K per month
3) a 150 grams bagel in the US cost 18$

>>50095641
Weed is too expensive. I was spending like $500 or more a month. Just not sustainable I had to quit. Now I spend $1000 a month on crypto and lose it all the same.

>>50096387
Bro the only reason I want to make it is so I can vape thc oil all day everyday

>>50096321
>>50096336
Imagine being such a bottom feeder that the mere idea of earning 100k is completely out of your comprehension

>>50096255
Based, I've actually been screenshotting the messages and highlighting the numbers for the past week.
>>50096307
Thank fuck I've never worked in an office with Deano and Gaz. Always had chill techy lads or old school metal greybeards as co-workers.
>>50096321
Cost of living crisis, my energy bills have gone up 2.5x since the start of this year.

ok california highway patrol you arrested me put me in jail for smelling weed in my vehicle but you can fuck off I wasnt proven guilty

I’m >>50096255

I’m not rich, but I’m well off (for the UK).

I have low-mid 6 figures in crypto and £200k savings. I save £2,500 a month, as I bought my house 12 years ago, and my mortgage is only £480 per month (Leeds)

IT / Product Development Consultant fyi

Imagine believing everything that is posted here.

>>50096466
how old are you?

>>50096387
I don't smoke during work to be honest, I was being hyperbolic. After work though I get my vape on :) Y0MPD

>>50096496
It's not about that homeboy. It's the fact that you think 100k is unattainable when it's pretty easy if you aren't stupid and lazy. Did you not go to uni?

>>50096466
>IT / Product Development Consultant
Self employed? What's your day rate out of interest? I always figured I'd eventually end up as a contractor but I'm not sure I want the stress. I used to freelance making websites for small businesses and it was absolutely wank, although I imagine getting 3 month contracts at a time to fill out seats on a project is a bit of a different experience.

>>50095905
come up with new material summerfag

>>50096448
I was the same way, then I graduated, starting making money, smoked all day everyday for 3 years, realized how empty and pointless it is. It’s not worth it anon. Everything in moderation.

Schizo posting?

Not a Contractor. Full time employment, been with my company for 9 years now. Started on £18.5k back in 2013

Went from 50k as Assistant Controller for some car dealerships (total shit pay) to ~95k annually. In office with a bunch of maskies and vaxxies to permanently work-from-home without poison in my blood, and total flexibility in when I work as long as everything is done by the end of the week.

What's the best cash back credit card? Couldn't find anything better than 5% for groceries (and similarly high % rates for other categories) from BMO.

>>50096496
You sound retarded, getting worked up over 100k. It's not some inconceivable number. Do you live in Stockton or something? Bucket crab retard, lmao

>>50096625
good goy
85k gross for the us is pathetic tho

>>50095641
Please do not post this image ever again.

>good goy
Feel free to tell me what I'm doing wrong.
>85k gross for the us is pathetic tho
It's pathetic for here in Canada too, but as long as I save $2k monthly, I'm fine with it.

>>50095641
i swear, she is so hot

>>50096617
That's one hell of a series of raises without job hopping, impressed with that employer.

>saving money in this day and age if not larp reeks of incels

>>50096321
There are a few things.
Someone making +$100k in San Francisco. They are just getting by.
Someone making +$100k in Kansas. They are a rich fucker.

And there is people's spending habits. The Kansas guy could be spending every cent he makes on guns and trucks. The tech bro could be living in a tent in someones back yard and saving 75% of what he makes.

>>50096887
So I have to lose money?

>>50095641
I wish I was as coked out as she is rn

What industry? I'm at 66k+bonuses but they're gonna want me back in the wage cage soon. Kind of worried to quit during a recession though

>>50097188
Expand upon that don't you have to be in person to do that kind of shit? Probably not something i can get into without a big shift but damn learning a lot thus far

>>50096321
I’ve been working a job that pays me 60k a year and I still only have $1100 in my savings. I am retarded and always lose my money on gambling on the stock market. I’m retarded

>>50096537

>did you not go to uni

your white privilege is showing, chud

>>50097574
Can I see some samples of your stupid decisions?

£60k Senior Test Engineer, here
Could probably get more, but with a good company, and the work/life balance is great.
No degree, just fell into testing years ago via Tech Support at a small software house.
Was doing Design/Typesetting before that.

>>50095641
Where did you get this picture of my wife???

>>50097239
no. most of the industry is remote (even pre covid) unless youre a CRA doing on site visits.

>>50096366
I make a fifth of that.

>>50095641
Damn I'd love rove to fugg maxwell

Youre a poorfag then

sorry i dont speak fluent glowie

>>50097765
Here’s a taste. I also dropped 5k into this piece of shit ponzi called TIME Wonderland. I wish I could chargeback the past 2 years of my life

>>50096466
>I have made it
> lives in Leeds
What's the point?

>>50096422
How can you spend that much? A $20 vape cart can last weeks. Spend $60 on an oz of shake make butter and it'll last you a month

>>50096129
Reading this stuff as an accountant is making me feel fucking sad desu. I am newly qualified after 3 years of tough exams and shit pay, now earning £35k. The average is apparently £62k and I’m 25 so things will get better but I feel like I made a mistake not becoming a tech bro.

I did a STEM degree and a few of my mates went and did software developer conversion courses for a year and then basically went straight into earning as much as me… with seemingly a lot less stress in their day to day job. Fuck me why did I fall for the big 4 meme

>>50095641
>>50095699
Tech shit? I wish this shit was accessible to me. No offense to you boys, but this really does seem to be a case of "the C students rising to the top" because us people working in professions work harder for much less reward.

>>50099197
Don’t feel bad. I’m a scientist and don’t even make £30k and I’ve been doing it for 20 years.

>>50099197
Im a bong lad whos done with his engineering degree this year and probably gonna do a conversion course. Hopefully it works out. all my friends are applying to big 4, finance and shit like that (only the true nerds are going for actual engineering jobs lol). if you're in the big 4 right now then im sure you can try transition to a developer or software role no?

>>50098111
id love to fuck your bum and fill it with cum

>>50099197
>£35k
>I’m 25

Sounds decent tbf, depends where you live. I'm 32 so it took me longer to get not a lot more.

Anyway, I hear big 4 is a graduate mill from people I've met down the pub, I'm sure you can job hop quickly to somewhere better.

>>50095641
congrats anon, now job hop for 180

>>50096321
When you make something an infinitely renewable resource, even money, people stop valuing it. There are many, many doctors barely making ends meet.

>>50095641
wtf anon no! think about the millionares

>>50100018
Can I get some?

>>50096321
It takes time, and living expenses plus taxes are a bitch. Last year I paid fucking $72,000 in taxes on $300k in income + capital gains.

>>50096321
The US took a different approach to economic freedom. More money, less government intervention. Some people end up ballin' and some die in a ditch. Not to shit on your nanny state. You voted for it, you guys like it. It's cool. We don't.

>>50096752
Something like 50% of all people in canada earn less than $50K. $85k is in the top 20%.

>>50096625
>Couldn't find anything better than 5% for groceries (and similarly high % rates for other categories) from BMO.
Is this a promo rate? most do not give above 2%.

>>50096129
>I just wanna be able to get a mortgage on a nice house and focus on my hobbies now.
I've got bad news for you.

>>50096537
I don't know where you live but not only 100k not "pretty easy" (it's in top 5-10% of most countries) it doesn't even get you that much anymore because of inflation these last few years.

this thread has proven to me that 80% of /biz/ lives at the poverty level

>>50102276
Who else would gamble away all their life savings/salary?

I make $200k and I feel poor. How are you bros coping with inflation? I spent $2k on groceries last month.

>>50095641
imagine being proud of working for a corporation

>>50103090
Doing what?

>>50095641
I’m unemployed, what’s your point OP. I could probably fuck your wife

>>50104130
jokes on you, i've been voluntary celibate since 2012

I love this new type of shitposting
t. got promoted to 160k WFH job last month, I work 40 seconds a day
