For some baseline comparison, salaries usually account for 20-30% of revenue for a company (not profit). Netflix employs about 3500 people, with a revenue of ~$11b. That ratio would put the average salary at 630k - 940k.

This isn't unique to tech. My father has almost 40 years in medicine and his salary hasn't gone up beyond inflation/cost of living in at least 20 years.

Not as easily. There is a reason all the banks are based in NYC. Recruitment and networking is as easy as walking across the street. The same holds for tech. Cost of hiring is extremely high no matter where you are, and it likely goes up ev

That's kind of my point. How would an 18 year old know what they actually want to do without having spent some time studying it and other things? I went into school with intention of becoming a doctor and had changed my mind 2 years in

If what you're quoting is what you are actually responding to, you've missed the point. That quote is a comparison between a UPS driver and a Doctor, not a Doctor in the US and one in Norway. If you're trying to compare count

Income is not the same as wealth, and income is irrelevant if it doesn't turn into wealth. My father is a doctor and he finished paying off his education at 48. I make half what he made and finished paying mine off at 28. I'm dras

Doctor pay has almost nothing to do with the absurd medical costs. With 1.1m doctors in the US, and median pay at 180k, that's $200B. US healthcare spending is 3.2 trillion. Beyond that, I think they deserve that much when factoring in

I sincerely doubt that. New Jersey is just a suburb of NY along with Westchester, Nassau, and Fairfield, CT.
