Can I ask for a $15k raise if my boss has repeatedly said to me that he wants to pay me more? I make $60k rn as a software developer in California. If I wasn't living with my parent's I'd be lucky to have $10k in savings

>I make $60k rn as a software developer in California.
anon... what the fuck are you doing with your life?
for how long have you been working there? you should tell your boss to double your salary or something, or to fuck off and die. you are the cheapest programmer your boss could find, probably, and are being exploited as such.

>>107617202
>for how long have you been working there?
It's my first job out of college. I've been here for a year and they bought me a $50k car as a promotion gift 4 months in (technically it isn't mine since it's only mine while I work at the company but they pay for all of the maintenance and I have no restrictions as far as number of miles I can drive per month, etc). $60k is the starting salary where I work but I've excelled and have exceeded expectations that go beyond a typical entry level role. I'll be happy with $15-20k more, anything more than that is probably pushing it

have you calculated how much you have saved by having this car? probably not much at all
also, are you fully in office?
I'm not american, but judging from what you are saying and what others say about life + salaries in california, you should be asking for far more than $20k. problem, of course, is that you risk getting a "no". maybe you should ask your coworkers or something about their wages.
is it a big tech company? if so, they should be able to pay more.
why hasn't your boss given you a raise already? why would you need to ask in the first place?
your best option would be to find another much better paid job (that's the usual strategy for getting big wage raises in tech), though seeing how bad things are in murica it might be kinda hard. OTOH, if you are comfortable at your current place and don't really spend or plan on spending much more in the future, I guess you shouldn't worry much. getting more money is always nice, though.

I make 60k and live more than fine as a (confirmed) bachelor, I don't see the problem.

Well my ancient car died on me about 3 weeks before the promotion and my boss asked if I needed anything, to which I replied, a car. When I was looking at prices during those 3 weeks, it was gonna cost $300/month for something decent, and the car they gave me is brand new and really nice. Leasing/financing it would have easily been $600/month. So at the absolute minimum, they saved me $3600/year but they gave me a car that probably would've cost double that
>also, are you fully in office?
Yes but they're flexible and I gather business requirements since I'm a team lead of this big project so it's mostly out of necessity, not because I have to be in the office all the time
>is it a big tech company?
Nah, it's a startup
>why hasn't your boss given you a raise already?
He's explained that he wants to do performance reviews for everyone after we finish our current projects, which I was fine with at first but the deadlines keep getting pushed because of so many lagging, external factors. The current deadline is the first or second week of January, which isn't long from now. I genuinely do love working here and I've learned way more in the past year than I probably would have doing any other job, they really just let the developers have at it and there are some really great technical leads that I've learned a ton from too. I just want more money, that's it, other than that I love my job

Probably because you're a furry and you're pacified and harmless to the elites.
Everyone else has bad social credit scores.

On top of being generally distasteful, most of my normie site tracking data is probably made up from extreme pornography and hardware stores. If any of the milquetoast losers who post on a thread like this is on a List, it's me.

The scariest part of the global surveillance dragnet is that no one is reading any of that data.

Well you're fine. A good goy even.

>>107617774
I don't believe in gas as a weapon because it requires far too much preparation for the force assaulting into it, dissipating the element of surprise, and it's indiscriminate, which means it's that much harder to protect my own force and/or civilians while utterly destroying the enemy. Mine warfare, on the other hand, is advanced enough to be fair game if only you'd spend a little money or at least have some intern put dots on a map.

well the prototypes didn't work then because I only have more drive to embrace my hobbies and build a giant fucking diesel-actuated rifle, have been intercepting more radio traffic, and have been actually buying more hardware instead of merely window shopping

my level of radicalization hasn't meaningfully changed but was already quite high

Anon you are being raped. I fucking got more from my first job out of college as a gov software tester 10+ years ago.

Your car means shit if the pay is so low you'd be living in a cardboard box w/o your parents. Actually, maybe they gave the car to you as a housing bonus.

Anyways, ask for raise and try to look at other jobs near you for a feel of what you should be making. Shit go look up a federal pay table and add 20k to what you see if you need a start (hint you'd be grade 7-9 fresh out of school by said table).

Welp, one of the former owners of my company is suing the company for $30m and one of his demands is for the company to be literally shut down lol.

It's good to be able to take crisis easily but is it that you are unfettered or are you just stupid?

People who are truly unbothered by anything never improve and have nothing to offer. I don't mean that in a mean way; but if you have no complaints, everything is going well, and we all know that that's not true. But there's a difference between going "It's fucked up, but it's fixable or mitigatable" and "It's fucked up, but I genuinely don't care"
