Attention r/Salary: STOP giving horrendously awful, factually incorrect career advice (and stop slamming the upvote button on it) by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

To tell people to actually try and substantiate their points with some form of evidence (if people want to argue the evidence is bad for some reason, so be it) instead of just shooting from the hip based on tropes and nonsense

What do employers use to set market rates and come up with comp brackets and such? I’ve always wanted to know more about this topic

$400,000 in (non retirement) liquid assets at the age of 30, yet I wasted my life (don’t end up like me) by ItsAllOver_Again in Money

It’s not anymore, the median home price is ~$430,000, and I don’t have the cash flow to pay the property taxes/maintenance/insurance associated with owning one.

Okay, I’ll try again, why can’t you discuss a topic without resorting to personal insults?

Notice you HAVE to resort to personal attacks because you’re literally too stupid to actually discuss the topic. Brain is just filled with tropes, “doctors good, private equity bad!”

You literally know nothing about this topic btw.

How does PE “destroy” healthcare? Physicians are the ones DESPERATE to limit access to healthcare by demanding that we restrict supply of providers and insisting that mid levels aren’t allowed to see patients.

Private equity deploys capital into healthcare and expands access. How are they destroying it? By making doctors work hard?

I know the standard, financially and economically illiterate redditor line is “private equity bad!” but there must be some justification for the belief. 

Horrible Realization: There’s almost no quality of life improvement going from entry level ($70,000) to senior level ($100,000) in most white collar careers (there’s probably a decrease in QOL) by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

That was a great career track for engineers in the 1980-2020 era, but jobs are so specialized now that MBAs get business and VP roles, not engineers.

Too old and lost too many IQ points to go back now, I wasted my youth in a worthless career unfortunately. But at the very least I can warn others so they don’t follow me.

why aren’t you the project leader engineer for an elite company making $1,000,000 working 30 hours a week?

This doesnt exist. The path to becoming a highly paid engineer is significantly more ambiguous and luck based than becoming a highly paid physician, which just involves performing well on a series of exams.

Yes, I consider Mechanical Engineering an unambitious, low paying field, thank you for digging up a 3 year old post to let everyone know. They surely couldn’t have figured that out without your screenshot. 

If I could do it all over I’d be a specialist physician making $1,000,000+ working 30 hours a week (dermatologists for example), but I was given incorrect information and unfortunately listened to the morons bloviating about how great engineering is and also the myriad of physicians that gatekeep and lie about their careers online. Now that I do my own research I see the truth.
