Maybe that's the monthly pay
Yeah that’s a very big monthly pay
$150,000/yr (yes big, less than median for software engineers in the US) is $2k/week, $8k/month
Edit: $2k/week after taxes because direct deposit is the context of this discussion
8k/month is 96k/year. Just multiply by 12
this is about a deposit so it’s take home
401k etc makes this fuzzy
How dare you question his math?! He gets paid 96k /150k for that!
Direct deposit is after taxes. Bi-weekly or weekly deposit is the most common.
They said the US. Ao mathing is hard.
Take home vs before taxes are very different numbers
