Awesome to hear someone say they’re in their dream job right now, 10 years earlier than expected! 2:41

[@billvalley]

I love that yall are based in DC! Gotta support more DC creators

[@anthonyrobinson4640]

I like this format for the videos. Full on compilation.

[@my_j.a.r.v.i.s.]

Being A Rocket Scientist sounds cool. That guy must be enjoying his work.

[@Fritbjorn]

Federal Law: it is unlawful for an employer to have a work rule, policy, or hiring agreement that prohibits employees from discussing their wages with each other or that requires you to get the employer’s permission to have such discussions. If your employer does any of these things, a charge may be filed against the employer with the NLRB.

[@MrMusic55123]

As a software engineer with 11 years of experience, I reached 98k this year and I stayed with my last company for over 6 years

[@ElectricChaplain]

You're getting severely underpaid for your industry.

[@tam6011]

Time to ,=move around. You should be hitting 150k to 200k. What is language you code in? If it’s c++ to embedded or quant developer

[@felipearcanjo2908]

How about your pension?

[@j10001]

If people say they work for the government, you have to ask what precisely they do! That’s as vague as someone saying they work for a business - that means nothing at all.

[@Smileybiotch237]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@redbunnyclassic]

Rocket Scientist!🔥🔥🔥

[@davidaseweje]

bro does rocket science...the thing that everything else isn't. mind blown

[@jasonvargas7564]

Money > passion for me. Can’t eat with passion but you can with money. Can’t pay your bills with passion but you can with money.

[@suns1457]

@@9770G yeah fill it with family and friends not f****** job

[@Obvsaninternetexpert]

Surly the correct answer is..... there has to be a balance... a job you LOVE that doesn’t pay for food is garbage A job you HATE but pays 2 million a year is great... There’s a gray area somewhere in the middle

[@Peanut-sam-tha-nut]

Wait til you get that executive job and realize once you break 100k for a company you will have no work life balance in most cases

[@K5757-d9q]

Everyone lying about passion over money.

[@KillerDeadXero]

Passion. Until you need to pay bills. For the rest of your life.

[@katmemes9730]

it's true to a certain extent. If i could make 200k in a commission sales position or something i'd still rather be a software engineer making 80k for sure because i like it and hate sales.

[@Gilgamesh54]

Your job is a lot of your life, you might as well enjoy all that time

[@BillyT531]

I'm surprised so many people are open about their salaries. They sure make a lot of money in the beltway!

[@John-dz2vk]

Some of those salaries are low for those industries relative to cost of living.

[@Nighthawk30722]

Man, living in DC and these people making sub 100k. Rough.

[@sumukhshankarhegde2853]

Why is it rough bro can u explain? I'm Indian and I don't get that that's why I am asking 😅

[@mannyit5700]

@@sumukhshankarhegde2853 Most good homes / buildings are minimum 4k month, 100k would be somewhere around 3k every 2 weeks after taxes , so 2k left for yourself that would cover food and car. If you have kids and a wife that will be gone quickly in DC , so usually .. the wife works too. Best area's are 1.5million + homes. around $8,000 -> $9,000 monthly depending on your down payment. If you don't mind living in area's that have high crime you can find something cheaper. Anything that comes out cheaper in a good area that looks nice, competition is super high. It's better to live outside DC and use the metro or drive into work.

[@firelordOzai3]

You should never allow your passion for anything make you think it’s okay to be underpaid. Employers want people who say they are passionate because they will find it easier to exploit them as these people typically believe their work gives their life meaning. Money should come first for us workers because it certainly comes number 1 to the ruling class

[@vonhessler1793]

These salaries are pretty "normal" and I always hear how DC is just as expensive if not more than NY or SF... is this not true?

[@Gotmagiik]

Research scientist working as a technician making 52k…. That’s like 12 hours a day worth of work and making that.

[@fb1000000]

Yeah, I’ve noticed that a lot of people that work in those fields don’t make what they should be making

[@Gotmagiik]

@@fb1000000 I’m one. Lmao. In science people really expect you to work from 7-8 to 8-9. Specially out of US scientist. It really should be a pasión to study it.

[@jasminecontreras7341]

I’m surprised so many people answered either passion or money. It’s not that black and white. It’s a bit of both

[@codycurnutte9778]

Dc is expensive man. Not sure how the ones making 40k or less are doing it

[@MightyGandolf]

How do people afford to live in those areas making $15 an hr!!!???

[@shannonswift2233]

I’ve never seen an actual rocket scientist. That was just a phrase parents or teachers said to remind you what you’re studying wasn’t difficult LOL

[@John-dz2vk]

Many of those salaries sound fairly low per one of the most expensive cities in the country with some of the highest median salaries.

[@RubbingPotatoes]

Nurse practitioner making 120k a year is "not enough"??

[@agluebyaglueby7978]

That guy is not a rocket scientist

[@maxfinnian]

Why not?

[@SK-eu5yi]

120k isn't enough for you??? I was feeling good about my job until the last women revealed her salary

[@aishah5244]

120k isn't enough for all that she has to deal with working in healthcare. Whew! It's rough!

[@jayson1geek479]

What about social work?

[@ndk2k4]

all this channel proves is im severely underpaid

[@ducheau100]

These people don't make that much for DC.

[@amapparatistkwabena]

Nice to see teachers getting paid decently in DC! WTU, Local 6!!!

[@EAAAA1505]

These fancy titles and no money. Research Scientist with a 52k salary.

[@5tyyu]

I cant get a job. Pls help me

[@fb1000000]

Tell me more, how could I help u?

[@woodchuckcider1]

"'I'm a software developer but for a startup or something..." Clearly just there to collect a paycheck.

[@truthseeker5186]

I make about 250k a year

[@polyteky]

SWE ?

[@dezertfox3130]

I make none of your business.
