3 years of JD
5 years of BIGLAW
8 years of experience, let's even say 8-10 range
8-10 range with BA = 100-125K, at best; and many of these jobs want advanced degrees, and many of these jobs are in expensive areas
it's not until 15+ years when you start getting much more senior roles that can "compete" with the in-house lawyers
obviously someone with 5 years from a good firm can 1) get a better in-house job than the shit ones and 2) has a lot more latitude in exactly where they end up and where they go and 3) can actually leave firms for other firms to stretch out $$$ for just a year or two more, they actually have the potential to make some $$$$ and nutella has no fucking clue how an ordinary person lives or survives |

Date: August 1st, 2017 5:09 PM Author: Know-it-all faggotry it's not so much toxic or bullshit, so much as it focuses on a smaller subset of lawyers and law students who used to be a lot more numerous on the board.
At one time it seemed like half of the posters on this board went to t-14 law schools and for those students, biglaw was no worse than a 50/50 shot. The jobs suck and are grueling, but if you survived ITE and kept working you eventually make some money doing something stable.
This doesn't apply to people who graduated from Whittier or WUSTL law. |

I don't think you realize how many fucking random ass corporate jobs there are at huge companies you've never even heard of. I used to work a corporate job at Altria group before law school and it's amazing how they employ tons of people with just BAs who are complete idiots making low six figures. I currently deal with dozens of financial services providers and there is an entire industry of just back office work that employs hundreds of thousands of people, all making decent money doing bs work like AML compliance and credit risk checks, work that some people with JDs sometimes even beg to get when they've burned out. If you're the type to have gone to a decent law school, theoretically you could've done even better and than those idiots. The ladder hasn't been pulled up at all, you just have to know these jobs exists.

you're just wrong, or at the very least extremely ignorant/naive about IRL and post-ITE (which is still very real for anyone out of college after '08) I agree people @ t14s could probably have landed a different path or job, maybe some that are even better in terms of $ and/or QOL, but I think your perception of corporate america is way off, and I base this off my own, more up-to-date perceptions, which involve a ton of people applying for jobs requiring 8-12 years of experience, almost all extremely competitive, requiring advanced degrees, almost none with any upward mobility, almost none paying close to what in-house people get
I also concede some people have shitty in-house jobs, but pound-for-pound, someone with 5 years from a biglaw firm can make more than 150K which is a totally hard ceiling for nearly all of these corporate jobs (and they dont hit it until year 20) |

Even in the NYC area, while you may get to $125k in your early 30s, it is hard as fuck to break past $200k when you are basically only getting inflation salary increases. If you break into the VP level (mostly people in their late 30/early 40s) you can make in the $400-600 range, but you will be working your ass off and can be fired if your division starts tanking. The only way to get rich at one of these places is to make it to the senior vp/named executive officer level and start getting some stock.

Date: August 1st, 2017 5:44 PM Author: Nofapping Aqua Abode Round Eye That's not how it works. Your large raises come from promotions you get by busting your ass and proving yourself. I started at $60K in 2010 and am at $130K now. I expect another promotion in 2 years to $155K and the one after that to $200K.
What XO doesn't get is that mega corp almost NEVER hires externally for $150K plus jobs. Sure you hear about big ones in the news, but those are the rare exceptions. |

Companies that promote internally get to pay to fill the position for less than it probably would take to hire an external person and they get a vacant position that doesn't necessarily need to get filled, so it saves money on both ends. that way they're able to slowly reduce the workforce over time without having directly lay off as many people.

$141k base and $211k total comp. Again, this is not for a senior role, nor are these people managing anyone.
Literally, anyone who actually knows their shit beyond running scripts and out of the box aps can punch in $200k+ infosec jobs as they see fit; demand is huge. The only reason you'll ever see salaries skewed lower is a lot of places like Verizon, run SOCs out in places like Nebraska and lots of our country proles will do lower end work in the 80-120k range. |

Date: August 1st, 2017 8:34 PM Author: Confused mad-dog skullcap What a dumb example. Facebook is hiring people with legit CS knowledge even if they aren't working on main product teams; good luck telling the 2001 style sysadmin to do some random leetcode hard. Google has a very similar hiring process for SREs (which is amongst their hardest interviews actually because you need both standard cs interview grind question experience and excellent systems/networking knowledge--on the lowest level)
You actually have it backwards: positions like this (or what you thought it is, the particular case of Facebook is very different than a "just write some scripts" position) are disappearing at most companies as everything increasingly gets pushed to one of a few cloud services. The sysadmin and "security guru" have gone poof in favor of a significantly smaller number of highly skilled people like SREs at Google and similar positions at other companies with large hosting infrastructure |

Date: August 2nd, 2017 4:52 PM Author: supple fuchsia kitty doctorate That FB job pays LESS than what the same job pays elsewhere because FB can go lower market for salary because of the perks and stock. Same job at a hungrier company goes for $200k+. MY last company had a security team of 20 (LMAO at SRE's and "cloud" removing this need) and maybe the "technical project manager" made less than $150k, maybe. SOC director, red team lead, trust and safety lead, all north of $200k with the CISO well above $300k...and that's BASE salary.
As for those certs being so hard, I'd have to look at my linkedin to count how many I have. |

The SAME type of positions that I might hire someone for 120-150k in Cali I see flyover pay $70-100k. These are apples vs. apples jobs because things generally mirror Big4-type hierarchy.
Another data point in Cali, where if I look at my wife's organization (Finance, multi-billion dollar public co.) she probably only has the lowest of low levels making under $100k. Nearly every mid-level finance drone is somewhere in $100-150k range, and Dir's are $150-185k.
So yes, tons of jobs exist that pay $100-200k, tons of them. But, they're probably coastal and if you're living in these areas that money doesn't go so far. The only way you win at this game is to work coastal, buy a home early so your high COL goes into equity in the home, then sell the home and move out of the state to somewhere cheaper when you want to retire.

I'm talking about biglawyers who went to t14s or other top regional schools like UCLA (I say this because I work with so many dumb UCLA and USC BAs with high paying jobs) who then apply for in house jobs. Most of them get in house jobs paying around $150k-$175k/year ($200k+/year is higher range believe it or not and more rare). Meanwhile shitheads with only communications BA who started at Viacom or whatever at age 22 are making $120k without doing anything by the time the biglawyer goes in house at age 33. Yes, biglawyer makes a little more than $120k dude, but in house lawyer should've avoided law school altogether went to Viacom at 22 or jumped around companies from 22-33 to land a $150k-200k job instead. They are certainly smart and capable enough to do that but problem is most 22 years olds see more schooling as a safe haven and would rather have a defined trajectory that they can follow. |

when it comes down to it, most of my friends from college are way more successful than me because they went into traditionally lucrative fields, and subsequently stuff like the standard finance/consulting->mba->whatever biz position. my friends who went to places like UNC vary wildly, but I honestly can't think of a single person who just works some "random 150-200k F500 job" after being there for 8-10 years. everyone I know in that pay range (assuming they're just generic "business" people and not in a skill-based field) got a job after an MBA.
there a) aren't really as many "generic corporate F500" jobs as people on here seem to think to begin with; how many people do you know who were account managers at procter and gamble or some shit (which btw pays a whopping 80k, and you may get promoted to executive several years later for dat 110k) out of college? b) many, many of those do not have great internal promotion paths and deadend fairly early on. |

They're looking at people in those F500s that have those jobs (some of which, btw, pay less than they think) and say "oh, look, it is doable." Just like pre-laws look at partners and their acceptance at Fordham and go "oh, look, it is doable." Of course, they don't see the 50 people that wanted that job but didn't get it.

|
Date: August 1st, 2017 9:55 PM Author: titillating blathering orchestra pit goal in life "Pre-laws at Fordham are not top 98% and biglaw partnership path is difficult for anyone."
The point of the Fordham hypo is that there are plenty of biglaw partners out of Fordham. Therefore, some pre-law looking at attending Fordham thinks "oh, I can do that too!" The realistic 25-75% outcome of attending Fordham, however, doesn't include being a biglaw partner. Looking at "the winners" instead of most people that attempt the path leads to misleading conclusions.
"Take a person who can get into HLS and see how he does competing against the idiots by age 35."
The original hypo wasn't "guy who attends HLS." It was typical in-house counsel/T14er vs. them not attending LS and just taking ordinary F500 jobs. I posit that many would end up with worse results. I look at my alternatives and realize that while I could do as well, I could easily not have. Also, many T14 LS grads didn't have awesome Ugrad backgrounds. Now, if you mean they could have gotten an MBA instead or a grad degree in something else, then that is a different hypo entirely. |
|
Date: August 1st, 2017 11:13 PM Author: razzle-dazzle carnelian dog poop I used a t14 ex-biglaw in house counsel as a general proxy for decent intelligence and personality (not so autistic as to not get or survive a biglaw job and get an in house one). These people aren't comparable to your average Fordham grad and will have better outcomes as a whole. obviously individual outcomes will vary since some total weirdos or dumbs will slip through through the cracks even in t14, but on average, these people will do well in life, as evidenced by all the people I consider above avg intelligence who aren't xoxo board shut ins who didn't even attend prestigious UGs or grad schools making $150-200k.

Again, it isn't about their talent, it is about the fallacy of looking at success stories and extrapolating expected results.
IRL, I know you love the idea that if you're smart and hard working and not a total weirdo that you'll do great (as in get absolutely top results and not merely do ok), but I don't think that is actually true. Different paths produce different results. |
|
Date: August 1st, 2017 11:20 PM Author: Confused mad-dog skullcap Your brother in law works for amazon because probably he's smarter than you and just screwed around in high school, and programming is pretty much the only path where you're allowed to do this (and even then the people from uncommon paths have to be that much sharper because it's much, much easier to get a high paying job coming out of a good school).
He's a slack-off PM now but that's because he was good enough to get hired as a dev at a top company with no degree in the first place, which means he's pretty exceptional and probably smarter than 95% of people who post here regardless of what intelligence-signaling traits (or lack thereof) he may exhibit IRL, to say nothing of how he compares with a UC Davis business grad. |

What you need to know is how many are making it and how many are not.
Incidentally, I work at a megacorp and know plenty of these people too. Based on what I've seen, a) getting those is extremely rare (each rung is extremely competitive), b) they often make less than you think, c) many of those positions are extremely unstable. Now, I'm assuming we're only talking about those who didn't go to grad school at all, not those who got an MBA or M.S. in Comp Sci or whatever, since the JD vs MBA vs grad degree is a totally different convo. |

If I continued my $50k in bs govt relations job at Altria instead of going to law school, I'm pretty sure I'd be there or somewhere else making $150-$200k by the time I was 35. Instead, at 30-31, I was interviewing for $125k/year job at NBC filled with a bunch of ex-Latham/Gibson/omm associates who all went to top schools who are just happy they're working 9-5 when they could've been doing that earlier in their careers and beating out the mouth breathers for promotions to more than $125k.

Date: August 1st, 2017 11:33 PM Author: titillating blathering orchestra pit goal in life While I am admittedly a weird Russian, that is neither here nor there. Yes, there are plenty of ex-biglaw types working crappy in-house (particularly in media and also lawyers for sports leagues) for low wages because humane hours + "prestigious" industry. That is also neither here nor there. The point is that if you look at most companies, it is much easier to make good money as in-house counsel than as any other job that doesn't require a grad degree. Full stop.
As to your assumption that you would make big cash if you stayed at your first job, I don't know the answer to that and neither do you. |

Date: August 2nd, 2017 12:03 AM Author: Confused mad-dog skullcap Let me put it this way: a PM at amazon got one of the top tier software jobs in one of the most expensive areas in the country (which Seattle now is, even moreso if he's in an SF, NYC, LA office), was good enough to get shifted to PM (which is pretty tough at amazon and means he was likely very good at his job--they're notoriously stingy with promotions, people will get stuck in software dev 2-3) and lucked out at a place where the stock went through the goddamn roof and makes 250k. Since top tech firms have gone full-on batshit in the last five or so years once they finally decided to start spending some of their ridiculous piles of cash, the entry level position a PM started in would now pay 125k+ all in in a state that's tax free (more for the bay area offices to compensate).
Your bullshit altria job is not even in the ballpark as a point of comparison, and mind you that this was a job that a grad from a very good school got in a decent economy, much less what GoodStateU Chad would have gotten. He's more analagous to an investment banking or MBB hire and decidedly not par for the course. |

product managers are either technical (promoted from dev-side) or non-technical/consumer facing (usually top MBAs who start at around 125-140k and earn their way up). these aren't people who just bootstrapped their way up out of nowhere. |

Date: August 2nd, 2017 12:38 AM Author: Confused mad-dog skullcap The fact that you didn't realize "project manager" is either a typo or some very specific position to the group is my entire point--you obviously don't know much about the structure of how tech hiring works, anyone who is a "project manager" as a former dev making 250k either a) just had a special title assigned for post-senior dev position (which is very hard to get at amazon) or b) earl didn't really pay much attention to the real title (or his cousin just says something to simplify explaining it to people).
I don't have anything confused, it's like if I were trying to LOL at someone for misconstruing midlaw 6th year exit options. You just don't know what the fuck you're actually talking about and post whatever random link is convenient no matter the field, which is the definition of MFE. |

Date: August 2nd, 2017 12:59 AM Author: Confused mad-dog skullcap Yes, I know what a TPM is seeing as how I have friends who have held the position and have to meet with one regularly (as part of, you know, my job), and at amazon they almost certainly make more these days. Amazon specifically I know a lot about because three of my best friends worked there (two of which basically said it was horrible, but they were devs; apparently it's not quite as bad business-side)
If you were indeed a product manager at a company with a similar structure as amazon (and it can certainly mean different things elsewhere), then you should also know that a) the ratio of such positions to runts is typically fairly low, indicating that b) while there is a sizable absolute number the percentage of employees overall is fairly low, which means c) that no, there isn't a magical preponderance of 200k+ jobs where people can constantly meander into salary bumps given that not everyone (or even most) is going to get promoted past a point, and d) if you work for the right company in the right area at the right time you can easily get overpaid relative to your skillset, and most are not so lucky.
But by all means continue to jack yourself off because dammit, you're smart and you earned it with bootstraps. |

My brother in law is a senior account manager and makes about $115 base and will be closer to $150k once stock all fully vests. He is not a programmer and is a ttt grad but not a drooling xoxo autist and likeable. What a shocker that a normal person can have a decent job.
My bs Altria job paid $55k to start and my boss at 40 was a director of govt relations who made over $250k. He was in middle management and decently smart but nothing spectacular. Realistically I would've bounced around to several jobs while getting various salary increases to get to where I want to be. Before I hit the in house lottery jackpot, I was decidedly headed to a mediocre sub-$150k outcome as a shitigator so I don't use my random luck as indicative of what actually typically happens. |

I certainly don't know of any of my standard stateU grad but decently hard working friends who landed non-technical jobs at anywhere approaching amazon. Either he was smart, lucky, knew someone, or smart enough and a really big gunner. Good on him for maeking it but that is definitely not the norm, and I think you underestimate how hard it is for people in corp-grunt jobs to climb the ladder. Say what you will about peterman but he's a more realistic representation of the scenario (and that's still a good cut above a standard UNC grad or whatever), spending an endless number of posts running through scenarios where he deadends at 110k after 10 more years or whatever. |

That's what I mean by the top 95% which xoxo generally consists of. Xo is still much smarter than the average message board but it has a much more nihilistic attitude. Glorifying a NEET lifestyle and then hoping fucking crypto currency speculation will save you is... different.
I realize things are a lot harder and even smart people need to prepare earlier, but I feel like the young people on here have given up. Law school is a shit scam because people who go to shit schools despite advice to the contrary can't get jobs. But it is easier than it's been since 2003 to get into a good law school and people from top 10 law schools can still get big law more or less at will. |
|
Date: August 2nd, 2017 1:22 AM Author: Confused mad-dog skullcap I would imagine biglaw sucks a lot more now that it sets you back like 300 grand so people feel pressured to stay even longer for loans, and most here seemed to be pulling their hair out after only a few years, much less like 7-8.
Yes, people can get good jobs coming out of an MBA as well, but that still sets you back a nice chunk of change and two years. And the mba programs which lead to 150-200k F500 jobs 5+ years out are typically some of the better ones to begin with, so you need half-decent experience to get in them in the first place.
Nobody is saying "you can't get paid a lot with a good professional degree", but that "organic out of college corporate paths in a generic cube job where you eventually hit 150k+" are not at all common. It just *seems* common to people in professional circles like yours because you're very disproportionately exposed to the group of people who got on that track. If Joe Caltech had a communications/english/whatever degree from UCLA he is probably not pulling an organic corporate 200k, to say nothing of a standard xo poaster and even less of the standard UCLA grad. |

It compared their fasfa data to their income tax returns (so no self-reported bs). The median incomes were not especially great, even from elite schools. Cracking $100k is not easy.

Date: August 2nd, 2017 2:40 PM Author: Know-it-all faggotry Remember we are talking about xo 2005.
Look at your case - you went to a t-14 but were mocked mercilessly in 2005 because of your ambition based on the path you chose - remember "multiple properties."
your situation was probably median for active posters at the time, and your outcome immediately from your law school was sub-optimal (maybe because of grades, maybe because you are a weird Russian fucker which comes out in person, who knows). And yet, even after having a a weird personality (supposedly) and being a median or below median candidate coming from your school at the time you graduated, and dealing with all sorts of career bullshit along the way (including your grad degree, just in case)...
You still managed to get a $200K or more job, because you had okay grades and presumably a decent LSAT score - enough to get into a good law school - and kept trying.
There may be smarter younger people on here than you or me, but they are trying to strike it rich on fucking scamcoins rather than deal with bullshit as it comes along and keep trying. |
|
Date: August 2nd, 2017 4:07 PM Author: titillating blathering orchestra pit goal in life I think there's confusion on timelines/facts. I graduated (well after 2005) to a biglaw job (the same one I was a summer associate at) that soon after I started not only paid NYC market but also paid an expat package, so I was doing very well. That ended about as expected given ITE, at which point XO had some fun and I got a kick in the ass (that was more the 2009-2010 range), at which point the PLAN kicked in (that included said grad degree) and I ended up landing on my feet.
I had a decent enough Ugrad GPA, a 169 LSAT, better than a 3.6 law school GPA, etc. But at the end of the day, it is having the right credentials for the right jobs that accounts for me doing well. It isn't being generically smart and hard working, which seems to be the position you and Nutella are trying to promote. That is, of course, necessary but is ultimately not sufficient.
I agree that there are bright kids that are directionless and betting on various get rich quick schemes. That was true in 2005 too and will still be true in 2035. College/Law school/grad school has gotten insanely expensive, and there are ultimately few good jobs (which is my point), which is what is resulting in what we see. I view this as another point in favor of my position here.

Remember, this is 10 years after graduation so it includes doctors and lawyers earning six figs. Obviously a six-fig corporate gig isn't that easy to get. Outside of 10 or so schools the medians are pretty low.

I don't think the data necessarily disagrees. But at most schools this is a relatively small percentage of the student body. And like biglaw and high finance, those elite programming jobs don't always have easy upward progression. And lol at nutella's notion that there are a ton of 150-200k non-stem corporate jobs out there that most elite grads are getting. Take away lawyers, doctors, and elite STEM grads and you don't have very many getting to 150-200k. |
