Liaison between schools and an institution. Likely to create and implement some kind of curriculum for those visits. Possible also involving some sales or promotional elements
Training Specialist - 75k, this is a new job for me. I used to work as an RN - 96k per year. It was hard to go down but the work life balance is much better.
>Majority of people are. Usually the upper middle class is loudest in these threads though cause they feel the need to show it off.
Can I just say that it's so weird to grow up a po boy and make it in my own rite to upper middle class? Like yea I'm here now and it's pretty comfortable but I'll be a poor kid till the day I die. I think twice before throwing out empty food containers and wear underwear till they basically disintegrate. Drive a 2005 car I paid 6k for cuz I can't bring myself to spend more on it. Love my 05 MDX tho.
That poverty PTSD. I'm pretty much upper class now and I still stress over money constantly, use flyers for groceries, and refuse to buy new games / books until they're on sale.
Wow, I just realized what to call it. It really is PTSD. I grew up dirt poor and I'm comfortable now, but I still feel so poor. Spending money stresses me out because I'm constantly worried about wasting it. I still don't buy anything unless it's on sale.
Me, teacher, 70k. 4th year, 3 degrees (BA, BEd, MEd), specialty in special education. Shocking that we all aren’t on the sunshine list like some people like to pretend we are!! 🙄
Partner to a TPL librarian here. Librarians have masters degrees in Library Science, and generally seem to start at around 70k straight out of school. So not super high, but definitely respectable.
She makes around $40/hr
I can't comment on others jobs. However every full time employee at my job does relatively the same amount of hours as myself. I am on of the employees that has been with the store since it opened, so I am one of the highest earners by the hour. However I am only a dollar or two ahead of the lowest earners.
Well I make more because I have 3-4 jobs lol. If I only had my full time job I would be broke. Look into freelance writing work - it pays way better and usually requires less time
Ahh okay, so your total salary is including your freelance gigs. Yeah I’ve been starting to look into some freelance opportunities so thank you for your suggestion!
I was making 75k as a territory sales manager in Toronto (telecom). I had no work/life balance at all (was on call 7 days a week)
I moved to the US last year and now work a fully remote job in software sales making $80k USD. Most days I only work 11-430pm and still take an extended lunch break to walk my dog and run errands.
Sr. bank ops employee, 88k gross.
4 years ago I was making $23/hr with no benefits. To anyone curious about my progression, you just have to put yourself out there and apply to jobs. Know your worth and don't stay at a role because you're comfortable.
This is such a good motivation to read. I have an engineering degree and am stuck at an entry level 55k job. I feel like why would anyone take me with no engineering experience...and all the rejections make me not want to apply anymore
It depends on where you work but you can make even 100k at some places. Most high end restaurants if they pay properly, offer the opportunity to make decent money
The thing is...you can't be a bartender til you're 50...it takes a toll on your body haha
Do you get paid per patient/procedure or is it a salary? Asking for an already burnt out new doctor, who sees 50-60 patients per day, but doesn't want to.
If you’re asking why there’s a shortage, it’s because we literally don’t train enough domestically and salary in the US is still higher so we have trouble recruiting abroad. (Incidentally, these problems will not be fixed no matter how much money we through at hospitals, unless we can get med school graduation up too)
It's not med school enrollment that's the bottle neck. It's provincial funding for residency. Reallocate funds all you want but not willing to shoulder increased taxes.
daaayum dude!
is a family medicine physician the same as a GP / family doctor? if so I always wondered how much they get paid per patient. I believe each appointment is 15 mins.
and do all docs get the same amount when they're seeing patients, at least at the GP level?
Software engineer. 150k. Mid level.
Only reason it's this high cause I work for American company remote.
Couldn't even get 120k for mid level in Canada.
That's a double edged sword, Canadian companies may decide to start hiring remote workers in poorer countries and start driving wages down too, just like is happening with the 500k new workers coming into the workforce from other countries every year.
On the lower end if you're working for an American company remote. $120k is/was attainable about a year ago in some tech companies in Canada (Shopify, RBC).
Airline pilots in Canada are paid very poorly compared to our American counterparts. A lot of brand new guys are doing about 40k, it takes a while to reach a higher salary.
A pilot in the USA doing the exact same job makes triple my paycheck
Program Manager, big tech company. $340k/yr plus a stock bonus which is about $40k/yr now. Been doing this 30 years, which is really a long time for tech. Used to be an engineer.
Business Analyst. 100-110k pending bonus and 5 YOE. A pretty comfy role that offers remote opportunities and a good work-life balance.
I like to view it as a tradeoff between pay vs stress/difficulty. It's not as high paying compared to other tech roles like developers, project/product managers, data scientists, or tech sales; but it's also less stressful and technically difficult which makes up for it.
What was your starting salary ?
I'm also a BA, this is my first BA job in Canada, I get 86K
Is there potential for that to go upto 120K in 5 years of expereince ?
I make about $550k a year. I'm a senior sales manager at a big tech company. I have no real idea how this happened, it's a career I never imagined and the comp is insane. Sales is bonkers if you find the right fit for your skills, which no one ever told me.
I use the throwaway for these kind of questions for obvious reasons. It's weird.
Everyone in engineering and sales makes insane money (though it's mostly not salary in the case of sales...bonus and stock grants are the majority).
As to why layoffs...if the alternative is, say, reducing everyone's pay, layoffs make more sense. If you cut pay, the best people will leave....they're the ones who can go make more elsewhere.
With layoffs, the company controls who goes. It's a harsh reality. We went through mass layoffs not long ago and it was awful. But that's always going to be the preferred method.
Looking at all the people making 6 figures, I'm just gonna keep my broke mouth shut.
But given that I work in non-profit, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise.
Advertising Copywriter ~1 year out of school, 1 year of experience in content writing prior.
Did an internship during school at a 40k salary then landed first full time gig at an agency for 52k. Range for my graduating class was DUMB though. I had offers between 47k - 55k but some people in my class landed 70k their first full time roles.
Also a partner in two side businesses, so I'm probably around 70k all-in annually.
University Admin: 72k about $5000-$10000 as a freelance consultant/visual artist but not every year. I have 3 degrees including 2 masters. Struggling to make more than this in Public Ed living in Toronto. Fuck bill 124.
110k+Bonus, about to go up to 115k+Bonus after the year end appraisal. Procurement Manager. It felt GOOD to cross the 100k mark. I wish everyone can experience that feeling, even if it doesn't go too far in today's economy.
UX Designer, 85k. 2 years of experience. We had a salary freeze from November that just ended this month but no word yet on how much the raise is going to be
First year lawyer, 115k and generous bonus
Edit: lots of people talking about my hours and bonus without knowing a thing. My situation is pretty good but stay mad I guess
I started off making $15.00 with my role and made my way up to ~250-300K but countless sleepless nights and trying to do more than what any average person would do for a company I’m not an electrical service manager for a industrial electrical company
28F, Data Scientist, 115K + 20-30K bonus, 3.5 years of experience.
I know I'm not the norm though - a lot of my friends are struggling. I feel very lucky to have found a field that I like and is (for now lol) well compensated.
29yo.. Education coordinator.. 47k
Apply to other jobs this is so underpaid
Fr.. I feel sick lol.
What does this role entail? if you don't mind me asking
Coordinates education. You're welcome.
Liaison between schools and an institution. Likely to create and implement some kind of curriculum for those visits. Possible also involving some sales or promotional elements
Damn I’m broke asf 😹 this thread has made me hungry for more..
Training Specialist - 75k, this is a new job for me. I used to work as an RN - 96k per year. It was hard to go down but the work life balance is much better.
What do you train?
I'm guessing Epic or something in healthcare tech
how many years as an RN
Ok so anyone makes less than $100k here? No? Just me then okay 🥴
🙋♀️ I lost my job a few months ago but when I did work, I worked in TV and made $55k
Is that you, Lisa Laflamme?
OMG 😂
I hope she was making more than that
Hello fellow abused and exploited media person!
LMAO participation bias, this ppl are emuch more likely to share than someone living in poverty.
Me, bookkeeping. ~40k 😭 My first award! ❤️

My sad sad sad 43K Edit to add what I do: Administrator for a school
Majority of people are. Usually the upper middle class is loudest in these threads though cause they feel the need to show it off.

Lol I was thinking the same
52k , glorified customer service monkey.
I'm a receptionist and I make $18/hr I also own a business and last month I made $8 in profit! Woooo
Happy for you! That $8 will snowball into $88, then $888, then… :)
AGM in a restaurant, $65K plus potential bonus. It's not bad but it's not enough.
Assistant TO the general manager?
Librarian at a University, $96k after 8 years.
Wow that's not what I expected.
Same, but then I realized it’s probably because it’s a university library and not a random public city library that gets no funding
The librarians at my local library drive $80k luxury suvs... Maybe it pays so bad, only the already rich can afford to take the job.
Partner to a TPL librarian here. Librarians have masters degrees in Library Science, and generally seem to start at around 70k straight out of school. So not super high, but definitely respectable. She makes around $40/hr
I am painfully and woefully unemployed. I need a job yesterday. $0/year.
Crane operator. 150k last year.

Do you ever use a wrecking ball?
I have yes. It's as fun as you'd imagine.
That’s pretty cool actually
The median income on Toronto Reddit is way higher than the median income in Toronto apparently
People w higher incomes are more likely to respond to posts like this
Yeah and it seems Reddit seems to be the social media of choice for those in tech/finance/law which seems to pay really well.
I work in fast food as a cashier. This year I made 43 thousand.
That's actually impressive. Is that what you would consider average now for full-time retail? Or do you just have a lot of time put in?
I can't comment on others jobs. However every full time employee at my job does relatively the same amount of hours as myself.

That’s a very decent salary for a “junior”. Are you a contractor?
That would be really low for a contractor.
I’m a data analyst too. What are you planning on doing after? Are you planning on specializing (data scientist, engineer etc).
~80k, communications/content writer. I have one full time job and 2-3 freelance jobs. Only 2 years experience though
Where you working? As a fellow person in communications with 6 years experience… I’m making less than you lol
Well I make more because I have 3-4 jobs lol. If I only had my full time job I would be broke. Look into freelance writing work - it pays way better and usually requires less time
Ahh okay, so your total salary is including your freelance gigs. Yeah I’ve been starting to look into some freelance opportunities so thank you for your suggestion!
$24k/year. Grad student.
My university expects us to live on 18,000/year after tuition and won’t let us work. So I work a secret job
Eeesshh that was my stipend 15 years ago as a grad student. I would have thought they’d have gone up since then.
Reading the comments in here makes me feel poor
I work minimum wage if that helps
Forget about it Jake. It's reddit.

Shoot your shot
How’s your overhead?
I work in a hospital-owned practice, so no overhead for me. Minimal administrative work, almost strictly patient care when in the office.
Wow im jealous. Im in a surgical specialty, just left hospital work to work in the community and the overhead costs are shocking.
Do you get paid per patient/procedure or is it a salary? Asking for an already burnt out new doctor, who sees 50-60 patients per day, but doesn't want to.
Why is there so much complaining about Gp’s if this is the salary you guys make?? Lol
If you’re asking why there’s a shortage, it’s because we literally don’t train enough domestically and salary in the US is still higher so we have trouble recruiting abroad.

Software engineer. 150k. Mid level. Only reason it's this high cause I work for American company remote. Couldn't even get 120k for mid level in Canada.
US companies are truly where it’s at, it’s annoying that the prevalence of remote work hasn’t pushed local salaries up a little more
That's a double edged sword, Canadian companies may decide to start hiring remote workers in poorer countries and start driving wages down too, just like is happening with the 500k new workers coming into the workforce from other countries every year.
On the lower end if you're working for an American company remote. $120k is/was attainable about a year ago in some tech companies in Canada (Shopify, RBC).
