Yes, and it's annoying and $400k away from accurate. Because ain't nobody sane going to leave a $500k salary on the table unless they've already got a big stack

- sanderjd 12y agoThis sort of pedantry is why people get annoyed with our kind :)
- pjungwir 12y agoI don't consider it pedantry. I know where you're coming from, though. If I hear that a developer position offers a "six-figure salary" I figure that means $105k. But that's not what a "six-figure salary" means for a lawyer or a doctor. So I think it would help us all to treat that phrase more literally---and more in line with what it means in other industries.
- totalrobe 12y agoAgreed. To consider it pedantry is to think that this kind of income is unattainable. The guy could have been in finance making half a mil.

- gamechangr 12y agoI work for company that helps identify new Oil/Gas sites to develop. Bonus pay is established as a percentage of production, but I will make substantially less as a developer (and I'm happy about it!)
- sanderjd 12y agoFair enough!
