Had an interview with one of the bankruptcy law firm from #Chicago. $38-40k annual salary! Sometimes I want to ask a question how would you feed your family of 3 with 2.5k per month ?! Impossible! Such salary would make sense in 2010 but def not in 2023.

sorry. yeah. that is pathetic.

Might start looking something out of state as well. Seems like Chicago has a slavery job market. A lot of job duties and nothing burger salary

Florida is great & no state income tax.

I love Florida but I love different seasons weather.

I’m not sure how they think sometimes. It’s like they live 10 years behind, and it’s happening way too often and with way too many companies.

Also, where is the work-life balance. Makes me frustrated on your behalf

Yes. And the point is that I’m not a graduated student lol Have 3.5 years law experience in real estate and 1 year as a project manager at bitcoin company and they offer this. Makes me piss off

that makes it even worse. Sometimes I wish they could explain why they are thinking the way they are thinking so it would make it easier to adjust ourselves towards what they want. Because at this point it just doesn’t make sense at all

That’s so crazy.

My wife and I make around 150k a year and live nothing other than an an ordinary life with two small kids a car and a small apartment in the city (Copenhagen). And we barely make ends meet. Paycheck to paycheck kinda life.

It’s crazy! America “capitalist” country 🤡

How does one live on 40k a year with a family?

Heck, 80k sounds absurdly difficult, if not impossible.

It’s even hard to live for one person! I pay $1.6k for the rent and the left over will be like less than $1k

If I got $2.5k per month in Turkey, I’d consider myself rich. That’s how much we f’ed up!

A little over 50k here, carry some debt, living paycheck to paycheck n Chicago

Sad 😞

Moved by the lake this year, so rent went up, groceries are more expensive downtown too. I’m a 15 minute walk to work or a five minute bike ride. Loving being by the park and lake, but think I’ll have to move in a years time to a cheaper neighborhood and deal with a longer commute again.

I also live close to the lake in downtown and the rent price went from $1.3k to 1.6k Will be moving out next year cause it’s will be like $2k per month that doesn’t make sense cause then it’s easier just to get a mortgage and pay it out

is that base salary, but then you get a share of clients' windfalls as bonus? or 40k flat

Just $40k minus tax and minus insurance. So you get like $30k annually lol

What a joke lol, but hey, you will own nothing and be happy, right? 😆

How is that working out when unable to understand it?
