What is the minimum salary you’d be happy with?

1. Salary work sucks, 80k for me to consider it with great benefits

2. Depends a lot on where I’d be living and what sort of benefits were available.

3. It appears impossible to live on anything below $16 an hour, and even that’s tight.

4. I’m about 5k shy of where I should be based on my job, location, and experience. I have a plan in place with my director though, and I got some bonuses this year that made up the difference for this year only.

5. This is going to make me sound greedy, but for the lifestyle my wife and I want, probably 300k-ish each?

6. [removed]

7. At this point 85k (SoCal). In the process of starting a new job a little over that 😀

8. Given the current rate of inflation, there’ s no way I’d be willing to give a specific number. Let’s say, enough to pay my bills, take a modest vacation overseas once a year, and put a little aside in savings.

9. for the career I’m aiming for, at least 210k

10. Minimum 70k for me

11. Probably 70 considering I’m a new grad

12. I’m disabled and I’d just like enough for regular cost of living. I get ~1000 a month and if I had double that my life would be so much easier. So, $24,000 I guess🤷‍♀️

13. Right now, I’m fine with the salary I would have in a year (43k) as an undergrad. But as a graduate, I’m aiming to go past $100k+ (over many years of experience).

14. Minimum? 100k per year.

15. 85k for now..

16. Depends on the circumstance. I’m currently married and my SO is the main breadwinner; my job pays about 1/5 of what his does, and I technically don’t *have* to work, I do it to keep sane because I didn’t enjoy being a SAHM. So I’d be happy with a minimum 55k which is what I make now. If I was a single parent I’d need at least twice that because I’m currently in a HCOL. If we moved to a LCOL and I was a single parent I could probably be fine with my current salary but I don’t know how happy I’d be.
