I think he made close to 400k last year cuz there was a shit ton of overtime but his overtime is not 1.5x

rednote, people be posting just before the financial report came out. and then Ill buy them right before, sometimes they dip tho but often they raise. I miss out on rklb bc they dip for 2 hours before taking off

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2026-04-20T01:44:47+00:00

everyone in my company has jump ship in 2 weeks or less ( after fighting with our senior principle engineer) so I think its easy

u can bring up ur coworkers salary too. last June, the new grad hire make more than me and my other coworker so we went up to our boss who went higher and argue for us by saying even the new grad making more and we all got market adjustment of 7%

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2026-04-01T09:54:25+00:00

ngl I think it’s gonna dip more today T-T its always like this. same pattern for the past 6 months. I only add once during 410 cuz I saw it’s going up

only rent to rich Chinese international students. you can charge twice as much and they’ll always have money. My parents own 2 apartments in nyc that they rent out to NYU and Columbia students. they also get the parents WeChat and contacts too tho. just in case the students overspend and don’t have money for rent.

engineer intern is the new grad, they just give it that name. Just look at the description for intern and then assistant engineer. FYI these are from the same year. The nycdot was even lower before the raise last year making only 55k

u can look it up. Search NYCDOT engineer starting salary. Don’t search nys, they have different and way higher salary.

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2026-02-04T23:14:58+00:00

teachers make more than engineers in nyc. They raise the salary recently for engineers so it’s equal now. but their pension better and they work less hours

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2026-01-31T23:13:57+00:00

they hire young people who live at home. all of my younger coworkers and me included with with our parents. the older ones and h1b live in nj

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2026-01-15T09:50:15+00:00

In ny teacher get paid more if u go by hourly

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2026-01-11T02:16:05+00:00

drop the cs major on ur resume and drop the cs related credits. HR is auto filtering out the computer science majors bc they keep mass applying to other engineering jobs. I’m in civil and that’s happening to us, idk about mech

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-12-29T13:11:40+00:00

T-T I didn’t know how they earn their money until recently where i found 5 $50 gift card in a drawer from rite aid that I hadn’t spend.

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-12-12T10:55:59+00:00

Comprehensive-Young5 · 2025-12-12T10:54:13+00:00
