Reply to comment by MagicalPeanut in Massholes are moving north to NH at record levels by EgonEggnog
You calling 130k a slave wage is the most offensive thing about this thread

It's all relative based on where you are, and what field you work in.
Lower-middle class Americans all live like kings if you ask 50% of the rest of the world. Then compare this area to somewhere where $160k base salary + $90k year 1 signing bonus + $80k year 2 signing bonus + $400k worth of RSUs vested over 4 years (5%, 15%, 40%, 40%) is the norm and we are just drops in a bucket. Everything scales. The easiest way to find success post-pandemic is to work for as competitive of a company as you can find while living in the cheapest area they will let you move to.
(btw I meant it kind of half-jokingly but sarcasm doesn't always translate well)

If you can quit your job and easily walk into another job within a month and not worry about running out of money it's quite literally not a "slave wage" job.
This is so embarrassingly out of touch. Comparing min/maxing finances with wage slavery is the douchiest thing I've read in a long time.
