The FED actively discourages companies from paying a fair wage. You think its an accident you need two incomes to survive and have no time or means to start a family? This is just an ongoing campaign to beggar the middle class and soft genocide the people.

Kek please tell me what the fuck you actually learned at college that should guarantee you even 60k/year. No really, do share, because everyone I meet who has graduated can barely do basic tasks like send emails, read documents, form meetings, let alone do the actual work required like apply the correct solutions to the specific problems they face. Maybe they can code, even then it’s extremely doubtful they can apply their niche coding to actual business problems.

Apply normie solutions and you get normie problems fucker.

Leafs get $55k in leaf funny money for this position.
At least for Mechanical Engineer. And my sample size is just one. So it's not necessarily always true(probably not).
But $55k CAD means you will never be able to afford a house, and you live paycheque to paycheque in the GTA. Probably with roommates or maybe a studio apartment if you're lucky.
Add on costs of a car with insurance costing hundreds per month on top of it all and it gets grim with this inflation level.

This. I make $75k in the US as a structural engineer and feel like I’m falling behind. It’s barely enough in most metro areas where most of the firms are located. Even in “low cost of living” states which don’t seem to exist anymore kek.

260k TC here. We're not all larping, but I honest to God have no idea how I ended up here. Pure unadulterated luck, right skills, right place, right time. I'm curious how other anons pulled it off. Surely there's a method to the madness.

I make 50k doing trigonometry and clearing details on steel. Sure I'm engineer's CAD/BIM bitch, but I'm doing far less work than when I was a pure autocad technician for a smallass family firm unironically.
