Tell me more.

MissMe said:

What more is there to tell? I'm working for 7 weeks this holidays, playing Videogames, and being paid £2400 at the end.

Spookymuffin said:

I wouldn't play for less

PANDURITO said:

I'm severely underpaid.

Difficult to quantify in reality, i have a basic plus dividends and then equity so all in all i am happy, then again a couple of extra k a month never hurts now does it

mdiver said:

Now there's a nice-sounding salary.

You a banker?

No. I'm supposed to be paid $15-20 an hour, and I was paid $7-10.
Now with me trying to start a new life, I'm going to try my best to be paid what I deserve.

Spookymuffin said:

Nope, up until april i sole owned a voice and data integration company but i have just sold 66% of it to a bigger tier 1 company. I retained 34% and have 2 fellow owners each with 33% each.

It pays the bills but i will be a shit load happier when these fucking golden handcuffs payout

mdiver said:

Excellent. Sounds geeky, or is it not that geeky? I like geeky.

I was going to say I was underpaid, but then I remembered that I have a lot of free time to spend on the org, so I guess it's fair

Spookymuffin said:

It is a bit geeky....i prefer techie but geeky will do. Hence i up my um geeky side by riding bikes

mdiver said:

fairy muff.

Spookymuffin said:

I prefer clean shaven

PANDURITO said:

Yes I do.

Lothan said:

Any jobs going there?

mdiver said:

Mine is up for grabs. I'm leaving as soon as possible. Money is not everything. I rather by happy.

Lothan said:

Good for you babes

Nope.

The perks are rad but the pay blows.

Yes and No.


I get paid higher than the average double income houshold on my salary alone, so that part is nice.

But to get to my paylevel, I racked up several grand in student loans I need to pay off.

Moreover, I own a house which is quite expensive, so I've had a roomate for the last 5 years to help make all the ends meet.



Ultimately I'd like to break the 100k barrier sometime in the next year or two, but I've reached a point in my career where I really don't want to be miserable doing it.

I have to say no, the cost of living keep going up.
I thought at one time this is going to easy but forgot
that when childen grow so does there needs for pretty thing,Jewelry,makeup,
mp3 player thing like that.I told my girl i hope they marry guy good paying jobs.Or them guy will be broke.my oldest girl told me that isn't funny.OH yes
it is I can see it now.I don't think i am wrong.

Tell your girls to take care of themselves and make their own money.

Lothan said:

word!

I was paying for my own shit since I was 15.

A part time job growing up never hurt anybody.

Overworked and paid weekly.....very WEAKLY!!....ba dum dum TSST!!

under the circumstances, I could be making more, but where on earth would I get the travel benefits I'm getting these days.....???

Imago said:

Exactly. I had my first real job at 13. There is nothing on the planet like not having to ask anyone for anything.

Lothan said:

yup.

It was through my part time jobs that I was actually able to buy clothes that didn't embarrass the shit out of me, and started to embarrass my parents instead.

So what made you decide to go back to the embarrasing look?
