I’ll give an honest break down the pay for those who are still interested:
You start at ~33,000
After a year you’ll be at ~36,000
After two years you’ll be at ~40,000
If you do get embedded you’ll be at ~44,000
From there you’ll probably be stuck at that for a while, I’ve seen people who’s been here for 5 years and barely broke 55,000.
However if (very unlikely I don’t see this happening at all) you become Principal, congratulations you’re finally an employee we care about - then you’ll be at ~80,000
Honest truth is only the VPs make high 6 figures. Every year Jeremiah would make presentations about the cost-benefit of sqaas and get raise after raise while at the same time laying people off when things get a bit rocky. Still think they/we care? But in this economy, even if you won’t take the 33,000, there’s always going to be another sucker who would. After all, sqaas is easy menial labor
