According to the Coli, first year employees at Google making 100k are "losers".

Is this a shot at me? Its not all about money its about freedom and ownership. Hookers make more than doctors does that make back page a better career?

That's the problem, everybody think money is everything, money don't even exist, its an illusion. Its a piece of paper that that ppl perceive to have value.

Why waste your life striving for that instead of freedom?
Dapped but :what:

another big misconception ppl have is 'being your own boss=freedom'

not necessarily true. IF you are the boss you just can't always walk away from the job and do what you want hence not having freedom. SUre you may be able to call the shots but that doesn't equal freedom.
And conversely working for someone else or for a company doens't mean youcan't be truly happy either.

Think about some dude that is in to engineering or development or research or something. That company may be able to give him tons of money and resources to do the job while at the same time personally taking none of the risk if something fails.

Nothing is black and white. I know plenty of dudes that are their own boss that really don't have freedom like that. Always busy, can't go take trips, can't be spontaneous or just do what they want.
While I know lots of dudes that work for "the man" that can put in for some time off and be free to go at a moments notice.


Y'all gotta stop worrying about what other ppl think and just do you.

I know a couple of people that got $80k/yr + $10k signing bonus from Amazon and Microsoft so those numbers aren't farfetched. C.O.L in silicon is expensive

It's funny because I worked for Amazon here in Pittsburgh at there 2nd biggest sorting center and was making 15 an hour doing nothing but parcel scanning and shipping placement 6 days a week 10 hours a day.

That's about $45,000 a year, Amazon is a great company, pays well even for minor jobs.

They call you Amazonians lol

I left to work in the oil field, way better money. :troll:

I have no certs.

It's actually standard in Silicon Valley now.

1) The pay structure for Google as of 2014
Base pay for new grad : 105k
Joining bonus: between 10-15k
RSU ( Restricted Stock Unit): is 250k over 4 years

Source: Glassdoor salaries, Pay Scale

2) Facebook
Base pay for new grad: 110k
Signing bonus: 20k
Equity: 100k over 5 years

Amazon, Microsoft and Yahoo offer similar salaries. Plus none of these includes perks and benefits.

Amazon does offer benefits at the door, just no bonuses.

I think at a corporate level they definately do give bonuses.

Befefits are top notch.
