Did i sign up to be cross examined when i posted the wage? I'd agree with you on the 70k range for moving here comfortably.

It's subjective, it looks different for all sorts of reasons, most not relevant.

What is relevant however is the fact that this wage in this area with our cost of living, with a bonus that isn't cash in hand but is strung out for two years, is pretty dogshit.

Not sure how your wage in the south was relevant at all, not sure why you wrote about rich people working non profits unless they're gonna be charitable by driving a bus.

Circumstances vary, but in in general promoting underpaid work just because it might look good to someone, somewhere, whos somehow worse off already, is how you end up suppressing wages all around. A below average wage should be called what it is.

What so as long as somebody else has it worse it can't be a shit deal? 44k/year is a shit wage in baltimore area, can barely afford to live in the city you drive in

I've had good, bad, and no bonus jobs before, I can still point out that the "bonus" they put in bold is strung out as quarterly payments.

As someone else pointed out the bonus also gets paid to existing employees, that's excellent, that's the only upside to this ad I see.

$44,000/year and they stretch that $10k bonus out over two years

I was a grown ass man and still got a week off for that one. Shoveled out my driveway but there was nowhere to go the roads were in such bad shape.
