30k $ , thats about 21k €. So is this considered high or low pay for a fulltime job wher you need at least some training in the US?

not £21,000... 21K€ that translates in quid to 17,267.83.. but since we started with 30K bucks.

30K bucks is equal to 21627 Euros
30K bucks is equal to 17784 Quids.

Since I earn somewhere between 42 and 48K Euros a year... ( depends on the number of on call weeks I do in a year )
I'm definitely not going to cross the Pond for a codemonkey job paid 30 bucks.

Around here ( Froggy land ) a codemonkey can expect something like 30K Euros if he is just out of school... With a few years in coding he can ask for 40K or more especially if he has some cross competencies ( like database SQL ).

And at Today's Turdbin, *all* jobs are temp jobs.
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

I didn't mention things like that since they are a given if you work in Froggy Land.

- full medical coverage, partial dental coverage ( well most of the time it's full ), partial vision ( glasses or lenses ) coverage.
   ( and will minimal cost from you and your employer [ it's usually something shared ] you can raise all the partials to full )
- retirement pension is a given ( don't expect much though, but right now it's in the range of 40-60% of the salaries, anyway all the employers have an extension so that you will get more than the basic package in the end )
- unemployment insurance ( or whatever you call it ) is also a given for up to two years ( and longer if you show the administration that you try very hard to find a new job, and if you still cannot find something in the end you have the RSA : 450ish Euros as long as you are living in Froggy Land  )


Oh and you work 35 hours a week ( well 38 or 39 hours actually so that you can get your 10-12 RTTs in the year, but if you don't want the RTTs you can work just 35 hours a week. ), you have 5 weeks of paid vacation ( that you more or less have to take )...

“Most Americans are close to total ignorance about the world. They are ignorant. That is an unhealthy condition in a country in which foreign policy has to be endorsed by the people if it is to be pursued. And it makes it much more difficult for any president to pursue an intelligent policy that does justice to the complexity of the world.”

It's because they're French that they need so many benefits or else France would just be English farm land.

but but but, don't praise froggy land too high. you have to deal with lots of people wearing white tennis socks in jesus sandals  Angry

Seems that turbine is the last resort for all the programmers that are too bad to be hired elsewhere so they end up screwing the ddo code.. Cheesy

well the downside I that we pay a lot of taxes... ( 7K in my case... yup, that's 1/6th of my salary that goes away just in revenue taxes... after more taxes have been paid by my employer and myself ( but I don't even see the money )... and then I have to pay taxes on tax money... and yet more taxes when I use what money I have left...

$30k is a shit salary, especially for an expensive part of the country to live in like the Boston area.  Pay scales across different parts of the country vary quite a bit because of cost of living.  Typically anywhere near the east or west coast is really expensive.

Quite low. I was making more than that in a labor job (no training), 15 years ago, without adjusting for inflation.

D&D themed.   Not just themed, nailed.   I'm old, DM voiceovers matter to me, and in real life I'd buy all the DMs a beer. [No disrespect to the dev team, it's one epic package.]

No one plays the game in dark, alone, on some ridiculous difficulty where you know you're screwed from the start anymore.  Too much equipment, too many past lives, and worst of all most people knowing exactly what to do on a run before it starts.

On the other hand playing a new run, with no clue, no plan, no idea what's coming and nothing but desperation, stupidity and ingenuity delaying your inevitable death, running until 4-5 am with nothing but those DM voiceovers for company?  My gawd!  That's in the zone.  Days like that are my raison d'être.

Also, I'm the Oracle. With ~1.5 million character records & ~3 years of game traffic history, so.. sort of an investment there too.  ;-p
