What does Sup Forums do for work? Does Sup Forums like their job?

Night shelf stocker in a grocery store
night bonus plus not minimum wage and possibility of advancement
it's alright but i wish i could make more money

Which country, and how much do you make per hour?

Student + working for at an institute. Around 11€/h and an interesting job. Can work from home as well

Research tech in a Biochem lab, the work is ok but recently found out I get paid as much as a grad student who would puts in half the research hours I do. So yea, luckily I'm leaving this job in a few months

Canada and 13.75$/hour

Neat - do you take every opportunity available to you to work from home?

That sucks mate. Have you asked for a pay rise? I was in the exact same situation a few years ago. I took that knowledge to one of my bosses and asked to sit down with him for a chat. Played it cool, asked how his day was and then asked him what he values me at. He was a little off-put, so I asked him again how much I'm worth. He skirted around the issue, so I directly asked him if he really thought I was worth as much as a grad with one fifth of the experience and zero of the qualifications I had. He obviously said no, so I asked why that's not reflected in what I earn. I walked out of that office with a $14k pay rise. Maybe try the same, I wish you the best of luck.

Mail carrier for private shipper (big company, think ups fedex type of thing)
It's pretty ok, long hours and repetitive work but the pay is deeeeecent (like 40k/year), no benefits

some days I want to kill myself from doing 90-100 stops and 300+ packages a day

I've had worse gigs than this by far

neet

American, work for DHS. Money isnt the best, and work is long but rewarding

Were you paid with grant money? I am, so not much of a chance for a raise. When they offered me the job, I asked for higher pay and they BSed me and I needed the job. I just started doing less work, leaving early and inflating my hours I record for HR. If my prof has a problem with it then he can say something to me or fire me. i don't care

I'm a Registered Nurse. It pays $30+/hr and I get to stab people with needles all day. Every once in a while I help somebody feel better, too. Feels good, man.

Im currently a transfer student at a tech school for networking and pc hardware. Right now i just do odd-jobs like installing new ram chips for my neighbors and whatnot. My plan is to use those extra credits from my networking clasd to get into a nice college and maybe be a self employed I.T. guy

Well what'ya know, two of a kind.

Have you ever thought about learning how the business works, and starting your own shipping company?

I have a friend and his father was an accountant for a shipping company. After about 7 years in the company he came to know about how the entire place was run. Never had experience in logistics, only numbers. He went and started his own shipping company and now it's the second largest in the southern hemisphere. He travels to Singapore every few months to buy a new sportscar, and he has a jet.

Fair enough then user, best of luck with your future endeavors

NEET4lifeNloveing it

Yeah I think I know enough to get started

The problem(s) are it's a different kind of headache. My company phased out 1 man 1 truck routes, and now only serves big 10+ truck companies. So I'd have to buy trucks, get people trained to run them, buy routes, and then I'm responsible every time a truck breaks down or someone hurts themselves/quits/crashes their truck to still make sure the mail gets out the same day.

I don't have that kind of money and it sounds like a headache and a half worrying about all that shit. If I could run 1 route with 1 truck I'd already be doing it and making 2x money or more

Thanks, I'm on to something better already. In about 6 months I'll be starting my chem PhD, making the same amount of money (actually more of you consider the tuition waiver as pay) and working half as much.

You know what I always thought was a neat way to make money? Virus removal.

$120, total removal of viruses. This involves either:
>Backing up their important data and reformatting the entire OS, or
>Running ESET NOD-32 / MalwareBytes, and scan with Avira Free and do a full system scan

$150 for the above, plus a speed boost / general cleanup
>Use CCleaner to remove the bullshit and fix reg errors
>Uninstall bloatware

$200 for all the above and a complete secure-system set up
>Install Avira Free
>Install MBAM free
>If necessary, install Comodo Free purely for the awesome heuristics
>Install teamviewer for when they call you in the future, charge $20 for basic fixes

All up, for $200 it would take you 2.5 hours of work (not including simply waiting for the installs etc.). That's almost $100 an hour, and SO many fucking people would do it. All you'd need to do is stick up some A4 pieces of paper around apartment buildings / the CBD / office buildings / your neighbourhood / shopping centres etc. and you'd eventually have clients coming in. Offer every client a 20% discount voucher for their friends if they refer them.

Just a thought.

Ever considered buying a cheap but reasonably functional truck, and contracting yourself to these companies? Like if you know it costs them $80 an hour to pay a person to do routes, why not offer to charge them $60 an hour? That's a 25% cost saving for them right there. Just a thought, but yeah sounds like a fucking nightmare. I think most of these companies get started by other companies, rather than people.

Sounds fuckin' sweet. What kind of work do you actually do? I mean like (keep in mind I know nothing of chemistry / biology) do you do pathology tests or synthesizing chemicals and shit?

>Sounds fuckin' sweet. What kind of work do you actually do? I mean like (keep in mind I know nothing of chemistry / biology) do you do pathology tests or synthesizing chemicals and shit?
I do biochemistry research. So I do some genetic engineering, then purify the protein I made changes in and then try to see how those changes effect the proteins normal function. From that we can figure out how the protein does its job. The proteins I work with shuffle heme around

I think my next move tbh is going into MTG. My buddy and I started a company selling cards on tcgplayer, and we have a youtube channel ready to go (not many vids up cause I hate editing, it's very time consuming)

I want to get to the point we can just twitch stream with donation/put up youtube vids and sell cards and make a decent living with the two of us. I'd love to quit shipping but for now the money is too important

Yeah you CAN buy an old truck for cheap, the question is can you afford to get it fixed up when it breaks down all the time and rent a truck (all in the same day) and still get all your mail off. And all that would be still 1 truck 1 route which I hear they don't even go for anymore
I technically work for a contractor, so I'm a subcontractor myself. I guess I could shop for a different company but I decently like the one I work for and I get to use his truck

That's crazy man. Pretty rare to find genuinely smart people skilled in an interesting niche on Sup Forums. What's the most interesting shit you've come across / discovered / come to know through your work?

Best of luck my dude. How much have you made with the company selling cards on tcgplayer since it launched? Has it made a profit?

Currently working on a degree in nursing. Hope it's worth it.

Self employed, income varies massively one month could earn £3000 the next couple could not earn a penny.

Compared to the retail I did before it's heaven. Work from home, don't have to talk to people face to face, retail made me hate humans.

>What's the most interesting shit you've come across / discovered / come to know through your work?
Most of what I do isn't ground breaking. But it's mostly satisfying when an experiment you ran works as predicted and then you get to publish. Research is like 95% or unpublishable. I got a paper that will be released in a week or two and the journal selected as a "featured article" and usely use those articles for the cover page/imagine (which I designed for our paper...there are 4 other authors). So that's a big deal to me, cover pages are an honor. Also I'm excited to that I'm aiming to work with a CryoEM during my PhD. Basically it's state of the art tech for imagining/determining protein structures. Which I'm really into

I work for an investment bank.

There's structural issues with the industry and I keep telling myself I'll quit after bonus season every year, but I'm still around. Hours are longer than I want, but then whenever I get time off I end up squandering it which makes me think having more time of my hands is probably a bad idea.

Shit could be worse.

I work as a Electrician on a industrial level. wearhouses, schools, office buildings etc.. I have a few issues at work, I live in norway and everyone on the construction sites are fucking polish , latvian or something like those SHITHOLES. They never speak fucking english and fucking suck overall.
i have 5 years of education to get my certificate of apprenticeship, and these fucking wiggers just fakes all the papers in fucking polen and can come to norway and earn as much as me. thats fucking bullshit

I wanted to be an EMT for a while while I worked on my nursing degree, but I dunno if it would be worth it

Croupier at the casino. It's ok.

>What does Sup Forums do for work?
Fuck moms and dads brains, so they give me money
>Does Sup Forums like their job?
Absolutely

I know a dude who works in investment banking, but he's a senior-level manager. I spoke to him recently, here's how the conversation went:
>Hey man, how you been!
>pretty good, but work's stressing me out...
>oh yeah? what in particular?
>I've got this new team, all kids - they're just hopeless
>that sucks... how are they hopeless?
>well, for starters; they don't come back into the office.
>w...what do you mean?
>after work, they don't come back into the office
>wait, you mean after 5:00pm or whenever they go home, they don't come back that same night?
>exactly
He proceeded to explain that it's just customary / tradition / normal in investment banking to finish your day, go home and have dinner, and then come back to the office and continue working until later.

Is this true? Is this normal? What the fuck?

That is bullshit man. Absolute trash.

Fucking congratulations man, all the best to you.

I hate a love hate relationship with my job.

I work as a food server in a retirement home. (high class too) While the work is very demanding, it feels good putting a smile on the people's faces. They actually really appreciate it. I know it may sound corny, but when you work in places like this you can't help but get attached to them. Also it feels like I'm giving back to the people before me. I also make a decent wagecheck too.

But like, I said earlier my only gripes are that it's very VERY demanding, plus no benefits.

I work at the Post office.

Badass pay, benefits, & get off work early. I really like it.

It's a great degree! There's a lot you can do with it. Chances are good that you will find something you enjoy. Just don't let yourself get overwhelmed and know that your first year out of school is probably going to suck haha

Well good sir, i work everyday plowing on your mother.
Its a hard job indeed, but im the Gentleman for the Job.

Um just under $600. Profit, no not yet. We have to clear the first big collection we bought (about a month ago now) to make a profit. Profit will start at 1600, we're hoping to make about 2100 off that first collection. Hope it goes well. Thanks for the luck. I gotta go to work later user

I don't love my job because no matter how fun your job is it's still a job. I don't hate it hough, and I certainly wouldn't want to change it.

So he's part of the traditional investment banking division.

Analysts (i.e. juniors) working in IBD frequently take a break around 6pm or 7pm to eat dinner, go to the gym, etc. then usually come back to work for a few hours to grind out what they need to get done. (I wouldn't go as far as saying they would go home - that would be a waste of time unless they lived very close to the office).

Few reasons this culture has developed - but usually because the senior guys leave around that time so if they're going to be given any work there's a good chance it only gets given to them around late afternoon (once the senior guys have finished their meetings for the day) so they're going to have to work during the evening to get it done.

Even if they were aware of the work sooner, they may circulate/email a draft to the senior guys for review. The senior guys generally jump on their phones and tablets after dinner to review draft materials and provide comments. This creates another good reason to stick around longer so that they can process mark-ups.

Some analysts would probably take pride in saying their day 'only starts' at 5 or 6pm.

What is your job title?

>Some analysts would probably take pride in saying their day 'only starts' at 5 or 6pm.

Holy fuck what a truly cucked job. No offense to you, you seem cool and doesn't seem like you have this kind of work/life balance.

I would value that kind of work at a minimum of $130,000 AUD. That is the bare minimum I would work those hours for, regardless of what the actual job was. I think I place the satisfaction of what I do at roughly $100,000.

So if I'm earning $70,000 now and absolutely love the fuck out of my job, and another company wants to poach me, they'd better be offering at least $30,000 more than what I'm currently earning for me to even consider it.

OP here I'm off for now, night all

Cabin crew and i love my job

Funny you should say that, because A$130k is about the least a graduate at a bulge bracket would expect to earn.

Compensation also increases a very reliable ~20-30% every year for the first ~7 years, assuming you stick around / haven't pursued an exit option.

I think less than half of analysts stick around for more than 2-3 years - they see it as a stepping stone.

The number is even lower in the U.S. where the analyst program isn't even regarded as a 'permanent role' - they generally only sign 3 year contracts, and 'permanent' staff are only hired in the form of MBA graduates. Maybe 10% stay to year 3/4.
