I've been writing a library to help me forecast my personal finances accounting for taxes, various expenditures, income, and unexpected windfalls. I started because I noticed that whenever I tried to forecast my future, I kept repeatin

I'm not female but I was in a similar situation. I would never have negotiated if it weren't for the fact that I knew how much others were paid.

With regard to the GDS:Is the GDS available to Canadian citizens? I know that we're classified as Commonwealth citizens but I saw that Commonwealth citizens only have access to non-reserved posts and I'm not sure if the GDS is res

I see. At the moment, I'm not super sure hence why I'm hesitant to say that I'm going full throttle on anything but in terms of domains I'm interested in exploring further: 1) "Civic tech" which I hesitate to d

As someone who more or less did a generic CS degree in their undergrad, how would I go about correcting for the lack of a secondary specialty? Would I have to get a masters later on? Focus on taking jobs at companies in specific domains?

This is so true and yet so difficult to control for.

Yikes, I missed this! I would say that sponsored ads would be a turn-off, I would personally prefer to pay a subscription in a manner akin to write.as.

Thanks for the note! Looking back on it, I probably would have use levels.fyi and tried to construct an analysis that would account for how salary grows over time in different regions but c'est la vie.

Admittedly, this analysis isn't perfect since all my data sources have their problems.

What other cities would you suggest adding?

I would hope the tax calculator I used would account for healthcare but admittedly I'm not sure.

Looking back on it, I probably should have but I wrote the whole thing a bit mindlessly after making the charts so I didn't give Berlin the attention it deserves. Personally, I'm a bit skeptical that I'd enjoy living in a non

That looks great! Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the note! I suspect the issue with those sites is that (as far as I know) they don't offer data on European and Canadian salaries which I wanted for this particular comparison. Feel free to correct me though!

Yeah, from what folks are saying here it seems I made a mistake using Glassdoor for the analysis. In the future, if I do something like this again, I'll probably use Levels.fyi or something else.

I think this is a lovely article and it puts into words a lot of feelings that I've had about corporate North America. That being said, I don't understand point #7, exiting such that you get a significant payday always seems to in

I think to be able to understand the article's point one has to take for granted that the opinion of the stock market is not gospel.

It's lovely that you've done this! That being said, I'm inclined to believe that it's too difficult to get your average Joe to engage in shareholder initiatives, it's hard enough getting them to vote (in Canada at l
