So you gross 250k but actual net around 100-120?

And you spend 70 a year which means you're banking 50 ?

Tax is a bitch.

OP you gonna answer my question about the Maserati or nah?

This may have been asked already (didn't read the thread), but what happened with that chick who claimed you knocked her up but kept refusing to do any DNA testing??

***...have they done anything innovative at all other than providing enterprise hardware with oracle?

edit: why the hell is I*B*M censored?

PM me, let's connect on LinkedIn. Feel free to share your day to day life, how much your boss looks over your shoulder, where you work, total, comp, etc. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this thread who would appreciate input from another software related position.

Lol, meet the future

We are divesting our hardware rather quickly and are transforming into a cognitive computing company.. AKA= As A Service offerings... Hardware is still a huge payday for us, but 10-20 years from now, prob will be someone else's property



Not my numbers but Client Execs here will range 120-300k or so.. Base pays are usually right at 100k starting out... Then commission is thrown in which is a HUGE variable in this company... Some can have a structure worth 50k ON top of their base, some idk..

the way we work is simple, your possible TOTAL income WITH 100% quota attainment DIVIDED by a percentage which is then put as your quota money.. So lets say my boss offers me 200k TOTAL, it is then up to HR and the leaders to determine the split.. 70/30 50/50 ect... first is base/quota

Boss? Well... Hit your numbers = no boss

Dont hit your numbers = daily calls




Upside to work? I work from anywhere I want... Beach? Sure. Bring my work iPad and use the internet from the iPad to power up the laptop... Client events, ect.

I went to vegas for 11 days all expenses paid for a conference.. Stayed at the Aria, partied, ate....

Peoplel are missing the point of hard work.


I needed an MBA for my role.. I got it with a Bachelors degree only...


I got lucky in some ways to get the job I have now.. But its up to me and MY HARD WORK to show everyone I was worth the investment, and worth the shot..


That is what OP is trying to show you guys.. Luck plays a huge part, yes.. But luck open the door, doesn't do the rest for you.

that's not making it

finding true happiness is making it and it does not revolve around money

mirin srs

op seems to found his way at 23/24 im 22 turning 23 and still havent found my way.. feelsbadman

i did college for a few semesters and im coming to terms that it isnt really for me im so lost now

OP and I talked on the phone. He's a helpful dude. Didn't have to help me but he did. Fck all of you that are talking chit ITT.

OP add me *******....


Also: one important thing here.. Yes, making it is NOT making money... But this is something I realized recently and its going to come off very.... asinine.


Until someone has reached a significantly income, their mentality will always be "poor"... What I mean by that is....... It wasn't until I was making 6 figures that I realized what TRUE happiness is.. and ONLY then, did I discover it... Seriously... People say they know.. But until you can buy anything you want, drive almost anything you want, and have plenty of **** it money.. You will not truly understand happiness.. And buy what you want doesn't mean 10 lambos.. It means moderation and whatnot.. I drive a brand new 2ss Camaro which was my dream, live in a nice place, eat what i want, wear what i want and do what i want.... having more of the same things won't make a difference. its being able to have a piece of it that starts changing your mentality. you don't need the entire pie.


I say this because happiness and making it means you can be with the ones you love, whenever, doing whatever you want... That is TRUE happiness.. But NONE of that achievable until you can pay the bills, help your family out, and make sure your LIFE and ALL of its needs are taken care of without a single drop of stress...

Only then can you really "make it"....

Yeah, I will, haven't opened about 5 PMs yet lol. I love cars too. I bought mine with 20k miles on it, so 90% of the significant depreciation is gone. Then, I'll put like 2-4k miles on it driving it for fun on weekends with maybe two years ownership and sell it for about 70-80% of what I bought it for.

There, easy way to own a Ferrari level car for much less than it seems lol. No balling on a budget either, I could buy a few of them outright easy, but it's just the smart way to own a fun car.

So you didn't but it outright then? Wondering how you can "sell it back" in two years without ownership.. Is it financed?

can we see pics of your gf OP?

sup brah, i'm going to make a gamble myself and try to make it without college (Srs). i have the ability to learn and enjoy pretty much anything, 1 year ago i said fuk it and started learning piano, now i practice 3 hours daily and my goal is to play Liszt in 1-2 years. 1 month ago i said fuk it I want to learn programming, googled c++ book and I'm now pretty adept at it midway through OOP.

question is, how does one make it with 0 experience other than deadend jobs? my resume would literally be empty. My goal is to learn code hardcore for 6 months and try to get into the field of developing/software. I'm not sure how much it pertains to you as you're a sales brah, but shed some light on how to get interviews/opportunities if you're just an aspiring brah with no experience?

And i'm assuming it'd be different for brahs outside the US. I'm from Israel and the biggest industry here is software, there are so many engineers and developers here and many companies set up shop in here. it's another thing that i'm scared of is that while there's high demand there is also a large supply of quality people with college education, with 3 years of experience coding in the army(mandatory service, usually you can get a good job straight out of the army. my service was largely pointless and no experience value), which ultimately leads to companies having the ability to cherry pick anyone they want from a large pool of candidates



and from my measly experience the mentoring thing is true. like i said i wanted to learn programming, and just started bombarding my programming friends with questions to the point where i felt bad i was wasting so much of their time, but they always were glad to help and went out of their way to make me understand.

Do you also think you can leverage programming knowledge into other fields that are somewhat related/not at all related with more money?

How dare those zionist pigs trick me into thinking providing for my future kids and family and enjoying a nice car or two along the way is a good thing!

I've been converted. Thanks for saving me. Having an enjoyable career totally eliminated the possibility for me to be spiritual, I'm glad you opened my eyes. God knows that if your paychecks are at a certain level he doesn't love you anymore and you can't believe in god. You are wise beyond your years.

Edit: it always surprises me how much Hollywood impacts your vision of things. In the Hollywood movie I guess this is the part where you surround yourself with coke and hookers and lead an empty life? Contrary to movies (not even that I'm nearly as well off as those in movies) you can lead a spiritual life and still enjoy some nice things along the way. Again, primary goal is to provide for family.
