because you were being a douche I went and looked exactly what the company paid last year for my plan(this isnt including dental or eye etc) and it was couple dollars under 31k. at my last job it was 37k. so no my highly inflated numbers are in fact....not highly inflated

Dude, you said something totally wrong, I called you out on it, you doubled down, and then you get mad at me...

These are your numbers, they still get nowhere near your claims.

you also arent including the life insurance, short and long term disability many places provide. plus dental, eye, hsa, etc

After medical, the portions of those are not getting you to 100 an hour for the median engineer.

when you factor in all benefits its 75k+

Dude, seriously.

Based on 100k salary
31k insurance (Family, single are much cheaper)
10k PTO (5 weeks and change)
15k retirement
All your numbers.

46% compensation rate, also 46k.

So you are telling me there is another 29k in ( life insurance, short and long term disability many places provide. plus dental, eye, hsa)?

the average salary in Louisiana for an engineer(which includes things like industrial & other not real engineers) is 113k.

Do you want to refer to average or Median?

the fact is senior engineers make as much as some doctors.

I've said similar in this thread, senior FAANG Engineers make more than most doctors.

I dont even know wtf we are arguing at this point. from the start
I was talking about the OP doesnt understand true cost of what white collar guys make.

Yes, and you obviously over guessed by a lot, but then you spent the next several posts trying to misdirect and trash people.

my whole point was you could never afford engineers, doctors, lawyers etc

I did make the same point, but accuracy matters.
