I’m a middle management wagie overseeing a technical team of six and I make 115k + bonuses. America is a segregated culture. If you can play the white collar upper middle class game (or alternatively the blue-collar contractor game) it’s pretty common to hit six figures by the time you’re 30. And life is really really good. But only like 10-20% of society makes it there. The remainder of society grinds it out on sub-60k incomes their entire life which are getting progressively weaker thanks to inflation. Paycheck-to-paycheck living and overwhelming credit card debt are unfortunately not a meme for the bulk of society. Sad part is, if you haven’t solidified yourself as upper middle class by your early thirties you almost never will unless you hit the jackpot in crypto or fanduels.

I know a dude who’s been doing it for years. We worked together for a long time, pay can be hard to get but he managed to get 80k because we are in a good spot in the USA geographically. But even the 80k is a more recent thing for the going pay and he’s been able to be picky af with companies. They’re all struggling with drivers and mind you this is for drivers that have hazmat and tanker permits/license whatever they call it, I could see him being able to find something for 100k but it probably wouldn’t be worth it to him. You have to do a lot of sacrifices to get up any higher in pay. Trucking is diverse. They paid the drivers about 20 a hour where I worked and that was shit pay really for all the work they had to do plus hazards.

American companies can fire at will, and have high standards for coders.

I don’t know how that number is calculated exactly, but it’s something an MBA suit did.

American programmers have much higher accountability and lateral thinking compared to many (but not all) parts of the world.

I don’t know exactly why people don’t hire from China more since they are great programmers and work 996, but maybe there is some bureaucracy, corruption, lack of trust, government issues that make offshoring there difficult.

Yup the world has always roughly been divided between decision makers and decision takers. Usually the decision makers have above average IQ and the decision takers have average or below average IQ. Otherwise thinkers vs. doers. Look at:

>Doctors vs. Nurses
>Lawyers vs. Paralegals
>Engineers vs. Technicians
>CPAs vs. Bookkeepers
>Software Engineers vs. IT guys
>Dentists vs. Hygienists

The world wouldn't work without the latter, but the former really run the world. It usually breaks down white collar vs. blue collar along these lines.

Think of who Americans are descendants of -- risk takers who decided to (sight unseen) leave everything behind in their home countries for the chance of striking it big in the US. On a country level scale, there has to be a genetic component to that level of risk taking. So Americans are broadly descendant of the smart and talented risk takers, as well as the degenerate risk takers. And this is seen in our bifurcated society today with huge inequality. The Europeans that stayed in Europe are a much more homogeneous, less risk taking bunch. And with big risk often comes big rewards. Multiply this over a couple of centuries and you have a very different culture in the US than in more genteel Europe. Europeans will never understand Americans.

Anglo superiority and the protestant work ethic. Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, etc. were populated by lazy, degenerate, Catholic southern Europeans that bred with the natives. Anglos have always had a stronger work ethic, a higher commitment to the rule of law, and (until the last 50 years) a protestant culture that encouraged in-group preference and pro-social behavior.

On average, no. A car mechanic or IT guy or accountant here is no more talented than anywhere else. But our top talent is better than the top talent anywhere else. I will admit some of that is because top talent in the rest of the world flees to the US (ie the US poaches other countries' top talent). But I also think America's culture of risk taking and competitiveness and our top universities (which encourage top-level, creative thinking) contributes to it.

I believe we are a very genetically bifurcated society in the US. I would be curious to see an IQ standard deviation chart comparing the US to the rest of the world (particularly Europe and East Asia). I'm *guessing* our IQ standard deviation is WIDER than most of the rest of the world.

I seriously doubt the accuracy of those rankings. Whenever exchange students return from the US I always hear crazy stories about how US universities are an absolute joke and how the students there are all retarded. American uni's are so easy that my uni takes the American grades (of students who went on an exchange there) and applies a -20% correction because it's literally that easy to get good grades in the US. I'm not denying that there aren't any good universities where you can get a top tier education if you put in the work yourself. But to claim the US university system is the best in the world (while universities are incentivized to keep the grades of their customers uhm I mean students as high as possible aka grade inflation) is kind of a stretch. There's a reason Americans celebrate getting into universities and Europeans/Asians don't.

Life is cheaper in the US than it is in my country where the median income is 20k yearly. I lived 2 years in Boulder, CO (which is a relatively expensive city to live in). Rent was cheaper, food is quite a lot cheaper (I was actually surprised by this, I though quality food would be too expensive and I’d have to eat trash it was fine), fewer administrative fees, owning a vehicle and public transportation is cheaper by a huge margin. The unknown would be health expenses but I’m pretty sure you can actually see a doctor in the US whereas over here you pay for socialized healthcare but really can’t see any doctor unless you’re at death’s door or Arab/black.

Not even close. It's just that the people who thatmuch are probably lying about it and are the loudest faggots you'll ever speak to. Most Americans are destitute, those studies about living paycheck to paycheck aren't a lie.

We have mass-shootings for a reason. Everyone here is a lying psychopath and most people would have zero future if not for social security.

I'm late but let me help give some perspective.
>t. GenX Burger who has lived abroad.

Non-burgers the people who you meet in your countries who claim burger citizenship are wealthy enough to travel. The majority of Americans make less $45k per year. Even the burgers who travel don't quite understand how rich they are comparatively and the poorest burgers think they have it really hard (you know being obese and unable to purchase the newest iPhone upon release). This is because it takes living in another country to truly understand the disparity.

The burgers who say $22/hour doesn't go very far are zoomers or millennial with no concept of delayed gratification. The burgers who say $22/hour is ridiculously high are boomers who haven't adjusted their past experiences with the last decades of updates to form an opinion.

In short... burgers have completely forgotten what hardship is actually like, they mostly haven't left their city much less their state to even have anything to compare this to, and they have zero idea how rich they are.

As for making 6 figures working from home yes its very doable here. Yes there is a shortage of people here not necessarily with a brain but with in general most Americans lack drive. You see...when there's zero risk of your basic needs not being met, humans lose an important aspect of their will. If you have the drive to make 6 figures working from home and willing to put a decade or 2 into achieving that, you'll likely do it here.

Why do people outside the know feel the need to expose themselves as the poor wagies they are? Think you can judge an entire industry just by looking at it from the outside? You have profound mental retardation and it is incurable. Now, undoubtedly the Japanese can produce quality hardware, like watches, lenses, but software wise they are at least 20 years behind, unironically. Name even one asian or eastern european company world renowned for its contributions to software development that isn't overflowing with western men. The only thing that maybe comes even close is Alibaba, and you wouldn't even know why.

I make a bit more than that and I work from home logging in to computers leading a team doing 'DevSecOps' which is the latest buzzword. Could lots of other people do this? Yes, absolutely, but the difference is that I have over 10 years of experience in the field and this is a high trust position for a customer that is flush with cash and wants to tolerate as little risk as possible. I'm also an American and speak English which is like it or not very important as the most affluent businesses still primarily use English as their lingua franca. The bulk of my salary isn't my skill but because I'm a reputable individual with a proven track record who knows which industries are willing to pay a premium for me.

inventiveness/creativeness. Inside the box vs. outside the box thinking.
Basically if I had parameters for how I wanted a widget made, I would hire an anal retentive kraut engineer to build it to the most precise and exacting specifications with the best materials.

If I wanted to hire someone to invent a new widget to solve a problem I have, I'd hire a burger engineer.

Think Mercedes Benz vs. Tesla as a cultural dynamic that defines the way people think in the US vs the EU.

Most countries have similar median and average wages. The median American on the other hand is piss poor and on drugs while the average salary is very high. The income discrepancy is much higher in the US. Another point is that they have to be able to foot medical bills and education themselves.

Yeah I believe the median income is 20k EUR after taxes, that’s like 25k before taxes. I myself earn about 15k yearly after taxes but I’m a low skilled worker.
Engineers and all that make about 35k-40k pretax on average. Thing is life is quite expensive if you live near an urban center (which you need to to find a job) so I can’t even afford to rent any place. If I look at anything within a 5-hours commute radius from my workplace I’d need to earn at least an additional 500 euros per month to rent the shittiest studio and unfortunately that’s not happening because I’m too low IQ to get a degree. I could be eligible for gibs but I don’t want to.

Don't worry bro, depending on the tax bracket / state a person is in and the commute (usually people drive about 40 minutes to an hour on their own dime, especially tradies) most salaries are like 30-45% smaller then they appear on paper. Guys bragging about "120k"+ salaries are actually bagging maybe 80k if they are lucky.

>inb4 I use a company car, I work from home/whatever bullshit

Even if your company pays for gas they likely arent paying for the time you spend driving. Commutes tend to be very long in America and having to own a car is like another tax. If you work from home and you have a low tax on your income you have basically won the game but thats like less than 5% of the population
