Default Official brag about your salary thread

I can golf 18 with a cart at a great golf course for less than an hour's wage. I can also drive from office to home to pick up clubs and to course all in less than 15 minutes during "peak" traffic. Can you do that?

Not only that but I can also golf when you're enduring a blizzard.

My comment would be that it is a dang good thing we all dont' like the same things. Otherwise only those of us who are able to think outside the box would be able to get those things.

What do you do FM? I know you do day trading and you're building a big house.

I'm a computer geek. I work for match.com.

And the house has been done for quite some time.

tell me how this new feature of being able to set up your friends works. I may need to get involved. My setup skills are legendary.

What percent more do you think you make in Texas compared to what you would make in a similar job in Utah? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't make any more in Texas at my job than I make in Utah or it would be close. Most large employers in Utah have locations outside of Utah and wages have to be somewhat standard. I'm not sure where you're coming from with this wage thing.

At least double. Probably even more than that. I am a non-management technical employee (very senior and damn good at what I do ... but still) and I make well into six figures.
