What's Your Salary Now?

[dirtsniffer]

I am interested to see how the beyond demographic has changed since the thread from seven years ago.

Include salary and additional cash compensation.

[The_Rural_Juror]

Why are the brackets so low? :rofl:

[G]

Seriously, only ballers post in these threads. Once the resident ballers posts everyone else will just feel inadequate....kind of like going on a double date with Lexington Steele.

[sk8r3124]

I think as with all of these threads, you are going to get a biased result. Half of the people exaggerate to feel better about about where they sit compared to others. People also also don't discern between their salary, total cash compensation, and total compensation.

[Tik-Tok]

Sugarphreak isn't going to like this poll. Someone on minimum wage can still choose the <180k option. :D

[Sugarphreak]

[Manhattan]

Exactly. Needs to use >. Also, where's the student/unemployed bracket.

[ercchry]

i dont think anyone would believe me if i actually told you what my salary was (from my day job) :rofl:

And what if someone makes $180k exactly? There's no option for that.

Can I include the illegal meth operation?

[schocker]

Shouldn't >180k just be called haskayne....... :rofl:

[16hypen3sp]

I voted honestly.

Nope. Only the legal meth operations.

[GotRice?]

If you were making 50K a year in the old poll (2006),

using this website

http://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/related/inflation-calculator/

In todays standard, $57,326 just doesn't seem right for some reason. Or maybe 50k doesn't go as far these days as it would've in 2006.

[max_boost]

why don't you guys just post pics of your bank account instead

[Sugarphreak]

where's the 1% 250k option. 180k-200k is not 1%. :werd:

Doesn't matter, because they just go to the ATM, and take one of the receipts left on the counter from someone else to show as theirs :rofl:

Before Chinook CIBC got a security guy, I used to find them all the time, $500g+ accounts. I think he throws them out now though.

So are we supposed to vote in all the sections that apply to us? So someone who makes $100k would vote in 3

Threads like this do nothing but to depress me further about my career situation.

[403ep3]

:bigpimp: so many ballers

[A790]

I find it hard the largest demographic on beyond are the $120k+ income earners :P

[403ep3]

It's actually the <120k lol. The poll is weird like that

[jdmXSI]

Originally posted by Sugarphreak


No, I believe that cock size theory states that lift is direclty inversly porpotional to cock size

Hummer is an automatic size deduction

Also that horsepower above 100 is equal to a shinkage rate of 1&quot;:100hp

Horns and Stereo's are based on a similar system using DB

So, if you went based off of the average size. Would you then have a Vagina if you had a +700hp car?

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I voted honestly based on what I made for 2013 lol.

I think a fairly large chunk of beyond is comprised of young professionals and we're talking pre-tax with incentive compensations included.

I don't think it's completely unreasonable.

[hampstor]

Before we declare baller status, we need to capture expenses (excluding baller expenses like going to restaurants for lunch and dinner).

I'm a single income family with 3 kids :poosie:

"Additional cash compensation"? All I've gotten for years is just salary. I can't remember the last time I got a Christmas bonus.

So in the original thread only 20% of people made more than 80 k/year.

Now apparently over 50% make more than 90 k/yyear

[JRSC00LUDE]

I can't vote, I never did understand how to read those little "< and >" symbols....... :(

[FraserB]

You'd get better results with the following options.

<$60
$60-$79,999
$80-$89,999
$90-$99,999
$100,000-$124,999
$125,000-$149,999
$150,000-$174,999
>$175,000

i'd say the vast majority on here were either still in school or just fresh into the work force back in 06, not to mention some of the older guys answered as if they were fresh into the work force for their industry instead of their current salaries in the original... not really an apples to apples comparison.

but i did answer this one honestly and with only my day job in the equation (in 06 i was a student)

If you use a little critical thinking you can easily figure that out in the poll I posted. But I do agree, stating it is more clear. If I could change the poll I would

Keep in mind the original thread was asking for "sarting / first job post graduation" wages. You could have people who voted as new-grads in the first thread now well into their careers or professional designations, with significant increases in salary over 7 years.

Wasn't really trying to compare. Just wanted to see how beyond has evolved and grown over the last 7 years.

An example to support the evidence is how we, as a community, have gone from driving civics to driving 'beyond civics'.

[msommers]

Linear Algebra - my lowest mark in university lol. I don't recall any use of calculators. Just countless suicide-inducing matrices

[flipstah]

EIGENVECTORS WOOTWOOT.

To be fair, the poll is still valid. You just have to think where you'll fit.

90,001 - 119,999 annual? <120k

Besides higher income, equity increase and cheap loans also drove the factor that we all drive more expensive cars these days.

If you ask the 2003 Xtrema, he will say you are crazy to blow $50K on a car. 2014 Xtrema will say $50K is budget friendly. :rofl:

Get new Toyota Highlander Limited with everything. Because what the hell, I can trade in the van and take $10K from petty cash as down payment.

And these days, I'm also thinking, is it even worth my time to negotiate with the salesman? I'll just go in there, pay list and get out fast.

Salary only means something if you are an employee....

[ExtraSlow]

At my last job, I decided there were this many components of my total compensation:
- Salary
- Bonus
- LTI (stock with delayed vesting)
- RRSP matching
- DC Pension
- Health Benefits
- Life Insurance (including critical illness)
- Parking

Some people also like to calculate the cash value of the vacation, which can help compare jobs that may offer different vacation amounts.

For a lot of oil and gas professionals with 10+yrs experience, you total compensation with all those things will be around 2x your base salary.

I would have worked for free coffee, although that may have been one of my underlying problems in getting hired.

I feel the same way, I never had any type of retail/service job when I was younger. I feel like I missed out on a great way to build stronger social skills and kick up conversations with strangers. I jumped straight into technical jobs and really not interacting with a few coworkers at a time

Go up to Good Earth in Creekside, and ask the lady owner how awesome it is to run a coffee shop as a retirement job, lol. I never thought of it before, but being retired and having to wake up at 5:00am every day so you can get the store up and running for 6:30 would suck f'ing balls.

But you go to bed at 7pm and your sleep quality sucks and wake up at 5am anyway. May as well serve some grumpy people some coffee?

I was in some cool small towns in BC when I worked for Hydro that i could see me getting a little place on main where I live above it.

wanna go halfers on a building? convert the top floor(s) into awesome lofts with rooftop patios for personal use, then split the main floor, coffee shop and pub? :bigpimp:

i just need mountains and lakes close by and im happy
