I don’t doubt these National figures. You obviously have never seen the compensation reports inside a F500. Are there business majors and engineers in podunk country, working for a middling 500 person firm? Absolutely, and they probably make nothing. Hence these numbers. All I can say there are millions. Millions. Of people working inside F500 companies who with salary bonus and stock are easily making 150-200k a year. And that’s just individual contributors and early management. You can say they are tethered to a phone, okay, but they also are racking up business class air miles, traveling the world, flexibility to WFH (yep it still exists), some companies are only in office 2 or 3 days a week, some companies have in house day cares. It’s lame to pull some generalized list of stats and claim this. This is the money and life you’re competing with. That’s not reality. At all.  [/quote]

Do they start at that? Either way it sounds like a lot of work hours spent for $150k. Traveling the world gets old. BTDT. Those are all work hours BTW. From the minute you leave for the airport until you return home it’s not your time and these people don’t make overtime. What’s the hourly rate when you divide by all the extra time the company owns them for?

Then there’s the pension, early retirement and insulation from AI.[/quote]
