> Personally, I never understood how you could even pay someone 100k TC
I grew up fairly poor (what Americans consider "poor"), home was a double-wide trailer, best my mum could do for food was peanut butter and crackers.Got better in later years towards the end of childhood. But a combination of: the above, being homeless for a while, and working a lot of jobs like manual labor/landscaping, dishwashing, food service, retail etc for minimum wage gave me perspective. I honestly don't have any clue why I get as paid as much as I do. I'm not complaining. Employer, if you're reading this, don't take my money away lmao. I'm finally not poor anymore. But my life was fucking miserable for $8/hr and in tech now I make (what feels like) ludicrous money for work that isn't even hard. World is real backwards in a lot of ways. |
