Umm, which country gives paychecks after 2 weeks ? I have never heard of that before.

Paid every 2 weeks is probably the most common method in the US.

I've been paid weekly at some jobs, 2 weeks at most.. know some who get paid monthly (mostly government workers like teachers.)

Hell huge chunk of employers in the US use the same few payroll companies. ADP has sent my checks for my last 4 jobs.

 

[Chums Knifeblade]

bout 1300+

I just applied for a online job, trying make more bank, and Im doing some social media managing for my cousin thats suppose to pay around 75 a week

 

[Makai]

First job? I'm sure there are people on something beyond a first job making one-fifth of what you are. What exactly are you doing as a first job to be in a net well beyond a significant portion of others?

Software development. It's actually close to the median wage for entry level programmers. But yeah, it is really good pay and my quality of life is about to skyrocket.

A lot of the unemployment threads are really awful to read - a lot of people recommending the OP use a time machine to get a STEM internship. I screwed up way worse than any of the OPs (besides Thacker), so these posts were very discouraging for me. But I eventually got job offers and I didn't accept the first one. I've been considering making a thread about my experience as a more motivational alternative to the typical job threads, but I'm worried people who have fallen on hardship will take it the wrong way.

 

[FeenixRising]

Used to be around 1000, but an injury put me out of work

 

[Escape Goat]

Due in October

I was hoping that or a dog.

 

[Randam]

I make chump change compared to some other authors I know. There's this one dude making 80k a month from one series alone.

Author?

What does amazon have authors for?

 

[BadHand]

I'm more interested in what people make hourly. Clearing huge amounts every month isn't that impressive if you're a salaried slave and working all the hours that god sends. I did that once and you can't really put a price on personal/family time.

So it is a USA thing ? Ok

 

[Hypemaster]

When I'm not in college it's about $750 after NY's brutal taxes. When in college it's about $350.

 

[FreezeSSC]

About 12k every 2 weeks which is great since it matches perfectly with my 12" inch dong. Whats that? No imaginary numbers?

 

[sirap]

Kindle?

Yeah that's true.
23,50€ per hour.
37 a week.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Making $28.00 an hour

Before taxes: $2850.00
After taxes: $1,550.00

I love tax return season

 

[friskykillface]

Part time job
I get about $350-$400 or so

That money goes to tuition cost during the semester though :/

 

[Various Artists]

That's the million dollar question. If I were to take a guess, no one on GAF makes more than Evilore.

If I were to take a guess, I bet more than one does. Just off the top of my head CliffyB could Gary Whitta could depending on the year

 

[Randam]

Kindle?

?

 

[moka]

I get paid monthly and it's enough for me

 

[KingKiller]

Between $700-800. As a student I feel pretty good about this.

 

[sirap]

?

Jesus, you've never heard of Kindle ebooks?

Why not adjust your withholding amount?

Damn, I always forget CliffyB. I don't know about Garry Whitta though.

 

[BumRush]

Mine - not including wife's - is $2400 after taxes, 401K, etc. and not including the YE bonus.

 

[Dobsie]

average £5k a month after tax, it varies cos I'm self employed.

 

[KernelPanic]

like $2800 after taxes every 2 weeks.

 

[3bdelilah]

Hmm....

He probably has an 18+ kid living at home, which apparently doesn't seem all that normal to Americans if I'm to believe the movies.

 

[Protein]

Someone hire me. I promise I won't be on GAF all day.

 

[riotous]

I think he get's paid on the 7th and the 22nd. Some variation of "The 1st and the 15th" I imagine.

 

[The Technomancer]

Oof some of these numbers making me jealous. I'm currently at like 600 after taxes from the one job and 200 from the other. I've been told I'm getting a raise next year though, so that should help

 

[Surge]

Around $1600

But aren't you a mechanical engineer though IIRC?

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

I could but I actually really love getting so much money back in March since I have two kids bdays that month and we usually do some sort of vacation or something big after our taxes come back. Last year we got a $4500.00 return, plus my bonus comes in march which is usually around $3000.00 after taxes. It's the most wonderful time of year for a married guy with three kids like myself lol

 

[Palmer_v1]

Next thread:

So GAF, what's your Social Security number?

***-**-****

Edit: Oh weird, it changed mine to asterisks automatically. Didn't know GAF filtered this stuff.

It's just that.. I mean..

Do what you will I guess.. lol.. but you could just put the money in a savings account also and not give out a free loan you can't recoup until the end of the year.

 

[SliceSabre]

$733/every two week.

Seems I'm on the lower end here. But I live in Ohio and cost of living is low here so I manage since its just me. Looking into getting a part-time job now on the side.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Ego stroking thread?

absolutely:

$5274.38 last paycheck. GS-14 step 7

edit:I have had my job for a long time

 

[MWS Natural]

$5000 /month after taxes +10% bonus twice a year.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

About $2750 after taxes. The taxes are pretty brutal, as I have to pay a 3.5% wage tax on top of state and federal tax. It's still a great income considering how cheap cost of living is here.

 

[Slayer-33]

Damn bro, I need to start writing books. I think you posted in another thread about this

 

[Ivieto]

I get around $850 every two weeks. It kind of sucks, but I am in the US on a student visa, so research work is the only legal thing I can do for money. Hopefully in about three years I will get my PhD and starting cashing out on it.

Also, my university considers tuition as part of my payment, so they are docking an additional 45k a year of their books for nothing, sneaky bastards.

 

[Punchy4486]

Jesus, you've never heard of Kindle ebooks?

I think he's asking what you write. Not what your writing is released on.

I think.

 

[baphomet]

About 2k every 2 weeks at one job, and around 1k at my own business. My business can vary pretty wildly though depending on how much work I get around to.

 

[The Technomancer]

But aren't you a mechanical engineer though IIRC?

Studied as one, working as a product designer which I find very satisfying even if its not necessarily 50k out of the gate like most engineering careers are

 

[flonty]

I get money monthly.
1550 € after taxes
Its ok but I want moar ;_;

 

[SniperHunter]

$0

When I was employed it was $1,600 to $1,800

 

[G-Bus]

1200/1300 after taxes.

Be going up 50% in the next year or so hopefully. Life is good

 

[Rizific]

just landed my first real job after finishing school last october making $2250 every two weeks. thats after working close to 10 years making $300-$400 every two weeks. dont mind if i stroke my ego just a little, i finally caught a break in life and my hard work has paid off.

 

[Randam]

Jesus, you've never heard of Kindle ebooks?

of course.

but amazon has their own authors to write storys that then are exclusiv to the kindle!?

 

[matthieuC]

It's usually around 480 bucks. Full-time, minimum wage and after taxes.
