Just started this year, salary is 105k plus benefits and a (hopefully sizable) bonus. Turns out I'm in a much better position than everyone jostling to get into investment banking, so I couldn't be happier.

I'm currently major in commerce and work landscaping/snow removal (depending on the season) on weekends/my days off. I make $16/hr right now, going up to $18 once the new summer season starts.

I have a lot of fun doing it, and am going to miss it when I eventually get a job in my field, I dont think there's a lot of patio building in the business world.

Quantitative Developer. AUD170k salary before bonus. (I lead a small team.)

Backgound: Masters Mathematics 1st class hons + Grad Diploma in IT + heaps of professional C++ development.

do you need to have excellent grades to become a quant?
do you need to come from a good uni? Do any of those two factors have an influence on your salary?

also what's your starting salary and how many years of xp you do have?

sorry for all the questions, I need to know though

>>5478703

If you are just looking at this because of money you need to reconsider why you want to do it

>>5477661
I have land, avg yearly rent is about 140k USD, it's good to be white and have ancestors who were genocidal cunts... don't hide it, your all jelly and would love to be the offspring of thieving murders because you're all egotistical greedy plebes with no idea of 'wealth', let alone money

>>5478719
I like computer science and programming.
Pls respond

OPs Solvay picture power rankings

Einstein > Dirac = Pauli = Schrodinger > Heisenberg = Bohr > Planck = Born = Lorentz > De Broglie = Compton = Ehrenfest > everyone else
I love these old pictures.

I am a freelance technical writer. I don't have a steady salary, but last three years I averaged about $70k/yr

I'm a junior software developer, currently coding some flash projects.

I make $37500 a year.

The company also pays my lunch and traveling costs. I eat like a king every noon.

>>5478748
I reckon Dirac has a higher powerlevel than einstein

Living the fuggin' dream (no I'm not)

Schizophrenia, Fucktard. You're nothing special, get off this board, you are cancer.

>>5477661
Nothing

I live off a living trust set up by my father. There's about 2 million in it I share with my 2 brothers. I figure if my brother can use $40,000 to buy a boat I can use $10,000 a year to rent a small apartment and buy computer accessories

About 8-12 hours a week I head to a restaurant in the area, buy something to eat, and work on writing a novel. Because why not?

420k, quantitative developer. 5 years experience. Not counting bonuses and stocks.

Livin' the dream.

>>5478866
How do you even find out if you're into that shit?

I feel like that's a job you couldn't really get to if you're just in it for the money, but I don't see how you could realize you like it very easily.

>>5478841
ur mum

>>5478841
A male in mid 30s came with severe lacerations in his groin. I mean flesh was seriously torn off from the poor guy. The story was that he was drunk and riding his motorcycle at 90 mph. Well, one thing led to the next and he got a major road burn. Too make matters worse, he wasn't wearing a shirt or anything( not that it would've done anything anyways). But yeah everything was just hanging. After 5 hours of surgery he made it out ok. That was like my third surgery on the job.

>>5478913
Ow, harsh.
You deserve those 300k

>>5478868
I realise that I'm nothing special, that I am cancer, also that this board is not for me as I am a plebian, but could you answer me how you are offended.
Were you that poster? In which case, are you implying what I believe you're implying?
I furthermore like to apologise in advance for my reckless behaviour and shall cease to post on this board.
Thank you.

Don't let yourself get trolled.

econ/finance student. Work part time as a bicycle mechanic. roughly ~20USD/hr.

I deliver pizzas
8 bucks an hour plus tips.
sigh

I feel sorry for all the yanks in this thread. Why are you hourly wages so low?

>>5478972
capitalism.

everything is massively profit focused, why pay workers? they're expensive.

>>5478976
Who gets paid then?

>>5478976

Nope. Capitalism is definitely not the problem.

Factory pig dog
32,000, but it's more like 37,000 with the overtime I work.

Not in school or at work. Most because of my childhood I was fucked over badly and abused so it had serious phycologicical damage on me.

It's becoming increasingly likely that I'll kill myself one of these days and if I don't I'll be going to a low tier uni to begin undergrad physics a year after I should have and several years after I had the mental ability.

Someone hook me up with a job that pays a decent wage.

>>5478972
Perhaps because we don't have as high of taxes at lower income levels.

>>5478999

Where I live I have an 18k tax free threshold. And twice the hourly pay that I've seen in this thread.

>>5479015

just make sure you don't work in algeria

Student in ChemE. I don't qualify for any financial aid because my parents have/make too much. They pay for my cc and books, as well as $400 worth of rent each month. This all helps but I have to work to make rent and buy food as well as have money for gas. I donate sperm for anywhere from $300-400 a month. It's low stress but the place is kinda far. I also recently started working at a dog kennel (although I worked at one for 2 years in high school). I make $10 looking at dogs all day.

uni assistant 20k

>>5479105

Surgeon.

If that counts as a scientific career.

>>5479126
if I may ask... How much free time do you have?

>>5479132

Very little. I go on 4chan when I get a replacement that works for me for a particular amount of days then I go back to work.

>>5479135
Do you have regular work hours?

>>5479144

Yes.

>>5479148
How much time do you study per day? Are you a specialist?

>>5479154
bumping for this question to be answered.

>>5479154

I'm a specialist.

>>5479169
How is the usual day at work like?

>>5479180
What is*

>>5479180

I get used to it. A lot of people come in everyday I work. During workdays I only have time for lunch and dinner. Since there's not that many surgeons in the United States I get paid a lot.

Part time web developer.

Around 47 USD/hr, but I can't remember if that's before or after taxes.

CNC 'operator' (basically doing all the work, from programming to getting the final product).

About 5k Jewro/month (~6,7k $, which makes it about 80k$ /year).

I'm starting EE degree next year though, because I've already saved enough money to life off of for the next 10 years and i'm bored of this job.

>>5479187
There is a shortage of surgeons in the US? That was unexpected...

By now I know what to expect, but last question: despite the lack of free time, do you pursue any hobbies outside of your field? Can other medical professionals afford to?

>>5479076
It depends what you do. I went to a school with a very strong reputation in geology and did my MS in a coterm (extra year after undergrad), plus did basically a minor and a half in CS, which I highly recommend. Geology is moving towards computers a lot right now. At that point, I knew my shit well enough and had the required degrees (MS is the typical working degree, with a BS you do more work in the field, have longer days, and lower pay) to land a great petroleum job in Houston. Not the best city in Texas, but after a year or two I'll be able to move to the Austin office. Smaller office = more responsibility, so they don't want fresh hires working there right away.

It's not the easiest job, but it's not horrendous. My day starts anywhere from 6 to 9, depending on if I'm in the office or visiting a field site but usually ends by 5 or 6 and I don't take work home unless I want to for whatever reason. You won't enjoy it unless you really love geology, since that's all you do all day, but I love being able to actually use SCIENCE in my job as opposed to applying science to engineering.

Environmental contractor for mining and reclamation.

I grossed $500k cash or $1.5 million by acrual in 2012.

My net salary was closer to $24k cash, unlimited use of four company vehicles, $15k in vacations, 20% of my mortgage and utilities paid for, and I didn't work more than 100 hours total for the year.

>>5479842
What the fuck is your degree and how do I get in on this?

>>5478838
Did you do a general surgery residency before going into trauma?

>>5479889
He's fronting on the internet. No one makes 500k cash plus benefits working 100 hours a year unless they already have millions of dollars, supply the capital for other people to make money with, and then get part of the returns back.

>>5479889
I did a BS geology and have more recently studied anatomy just because I like paleontology.

the easiest way to do what I do is probably go hire on with the smallish contractor of your choice, learn everything you can about all aspects of operations, and then go start a company of your own.

I bought an existing company that was really small, and the previous owner spent a month training the hell out of me. Then I grew the business. However I have a strong background in business management, and had the means to buy a cheap but promising business. Most people probably won't get that opportunity.

Masters student in condensed matter physics. Don't make shit. I'm hungry.

>>5479958
I do in fact hold a couple million dollars in business equity, but I don't make my money off of cash investments.

A million or two in invested capital will never make you the kind of money I gross unless like myself you take on great risk and actively produce new capital.

Investors invest millions to make thousands. Business owners invest thousands to make millions.
