How much do you make?

[pogi_2nr]

Well I have seen this topic come up in other threads and decided to make a thread for it. Dont be shy, share!
If you dont want to disclose such information just give a range. :)
Please use total earnings before tax and deductions (per month).

[Malloc-X]

mi mek nuff money

[deakie]

couple of shillings a week..... :icon_mrgr

[Virus]

Not enough money :icon_cry:

[ProdMaster]

a little trupance monthly. :eusa_whis

[leoandru]

I think im satisfied with what i earn, wouldn't mind a raise though :D

[digitalchef]

don't get a salary unfortunately. :(

[Virus]

don't get a salary unfortunately.
LOL LOL LOL pity.

[digitalchef]

so you all should stop complaining about how much you make.

[megiddo]

i make money when i need it.

[BlaqMale]

i'm self-employed aka unemployed

[pcchick]

J***** or US$$???.. but if you must know... in whatever $$ it translated the verdict is I'm poor. How come that is not up there? :eusa_doh:

[Ropy]

Can't complain about mine :eusa_shif.

[Ropy]

J***** or US$$???.. but if you must know... in whatever $$ it translated the verdict is I'm poor. How come that is not up there? :eusa_doh:
LOL, you getting below 0.001... DWL :icon_mrgr.

[pogi_2nr]

wow a few people here make over 180k
I guess its none of you people who posted comments before as you all complained about being poor. :D
dont worry, I am poor too :eusa_liar :eusa_liar :eusa_liar

[Chris]

wow a few people here make over 180k
I guess its none of you people who posted comments before as you all complained about being poor. :Djust because a person grosses > 180K per month doesn't mean that they're rich (not poor) ;) You would have to take into account their monthly expenses, commitments, debts. The more you earn the more your living expenses increase.

[Zard]

which leads to a better life ;) maybe not a a 'rich' one...but better non-the-less

[pogi_2nr]

yeah, hookers and crack are getting rather expensive now. :eusa_whis

[Nastrodamus]

Although it is unprofessional to discuss salary, I think this makes an interesting study, especially if you compare it to a poll of the sectors in the computing industry where eveyone works. (assuming that the sample is the same)

[Virus]

Hey can't we see who voted for what. Or has that functionality been taken down.

[Arch_Angel]

The thread starter disabled that option. Discussing how much one person makes isn't professional. I wouldn't have voted if the results of who voted could be seen by everyone.

[Virus]

no problem, just checking.

[renkin]

nastro, i was just wondering the same thing

since i dont work in the tech field, i didnt want to spoil the sample but it's still interesting to see the results

[Chris]

I think it would also be useful from a membership point of view, not only the tech industry.

[pcchick]

Although it is unprofessional to discuss salary, I think this makes an interesting study, especially if you compare it to a poll of the sectors in the computing industry where eveyone works. (assuming that the sample is the same)Who says it is unprofessional to discuss salary??

[pcchick]

The more you earn the more your living expenses increase.hmm the first man to STand up for the biggaa $$ in thread = the man who makes the dough. :eusa_clap

[Virus]

Who says it is unprofessional to discuss salary??
i think he was saying its unprofessional to ask a person how much they making.

But whats professional about any of this we're not working together or anything.

[Xenocrates]

It's called professional ethics gentlefolks. Techie or no Techie, discussing how much you make is highly unprofessional. That's why the poll should remain anonymous. Consider the following implications if this poll were Otherwise:

- It leads individuals to making false assumptions and presuppositions about each other (especially with respect to their lifestyle) even if you don't really want to. In fact, I see at least 1 post in this thread where someone has already made this blatantly obvious. That person knows themself. There is such a thing as too much information. The human mind is a naturally evil thing - even if you think you are not.

- Having an anonymous cross-section of salary earnings for the tech community proves to be far more useful information to me (maybe I'm considering a career change?) than how much John Brown makes. When I know how much John Brown makes, I forget all about the fact that John Brown is a techie, and I think "wow, he makes 180k a month!" Jealousy is a funny thing. It has no preferential target. ;)

- Furthermore, it's usually not a good idea to put fine details of your personal life up on a public website which gets at least 500 hits per day - many of that number from anonymous unique visitors. I mean c'mon. Who here wants to setup themself for an armed robbery? Have we forgotten that we live in the 4th most violent country on earth? Hello?! Have some of you fallen on your skulls? :eusa_thin

People have a nasty way of loving to chat other people's business. So keep it anonymous and professional. That's the way to do business around here. ;)

[Malloc-X]

I totally agree with xeno, people shouldn't be askin other people how much they make its just wrong. Its in the human nature to be jealous, did u guys watch the movie ghost? and i am not evil, xeno u know this :)

[Chris]

While I will agree that it's inappropriate to ask individuals their salary, asking persons to indicate their salary via an anonymous poll is quite a common data collection technique. No one demanded anyone to post and identify their salary, and I'm sure that there are several who responded to the poll who haven't posted, and vice versa.

I agree with Chris. Participating in the poll is a choice and I think the data can be useful.

[Gillion]

dont open your purse n public... even if your wearing a mask for anonymity, because then people will mistake you for a damn thief.

[Virus]

LOLOLOL so true. LOLOLOLOLOL

[pogi_2nr]

The thread starter disabled that option. Discussing how much one person makes isn't professional. I wouldn't have voted if the results of who voted could be seen by everyone.
I was tempted to check that option heh.
but yeah, that would be crazy this is just meant to be an anonymous poll
so I could get a feel of how the members of this forum are doing in our
industry.

[Arch_Angel]

You guys are right. I'm not going to tell any of you that I make more than 180k. We are all proffesionals here. Good thinking in keeping the poll anonymous.

[tech_guru]

I have found...The level of ones income is directly related to your expenses...
That is the more you earn inevitabely the more you will want to spend...
Then a time will come when your income is not sufficent to support new expenses..
At this point you ask for a raise or go job hunting...

I am at the latter stage right now...

[Cue]

I make enough to survive but like everyone else could use some more

[NeGatiVe]

I make enough to survive but like everyone else could use some more


Everyone could use more money... even Uncle Bill, otherwise he would retire from his MS Empire

[megiddo]

lol he doesnt keep working to make money. I know many retired people who want to work again just to be active. i know retiring sounds nice to us, but to them they hate sitting around doing nothing

[Virus]

Why sit around and do nothing when u can go beach and eat lobster and shrimps for the rest of ur life. Spend that retirement money.

[megiddo]

beach and lobster assuming u have money. and also, u get tired of it. i went to barbados for 4 months last year. trust me after a while u get sick of the beach

[TerakiN]

little or nothing. contributions accepted :D

[pogi_2nr]

lol TerakiN
this is what you are doing in the peoples training session?

[TerakiN]

lawd...di informa dem find mi. now di little or nothing is just NOTHING!! :mrgreen:

[SgtMac2]

LOL ... how much do i make??... you want to me to snap and kill di whole a dem, dont it?
the voices! the voices!

[Billy The Kid]

You know that is after mi vote mi realize that the poll was for "IT sector worker"
only. Well even though my earning are not IT related, I am very knoledgeable when it come to IT issues. By the way how you add smilies to the body fo the messages.

I think thing poll is very interesting and i must agree i would not have placed my vote if the whole a unno would know mi business (i need to learn that smilie thing).
But what would make it more interesting is the level of education that is attached to those salary ranges.
Thats just a thought though.

[pigeonflight]

Billy,

Well even though my earning are not IT related, I am very knoledgeable when it come to IT issues. By the way how you add smilies to the body fo the messages.
....(i need to learn that smilie thing).


Try putting the following symbols together (no space between them)

: )

The result will be a smiley.

That quote above was priceless :)

[pogi_2nr]

lol :) it is a little ironic indeed.

[alexdevmaster]

so there are people in the IT industry in jamaica make > $180,000 per month, that doesnt sound too bad.

[Virus]

I wonder what kinda qualifications you need fi get a work like that?

[Electrotechnic]

What kinda job is that anyways? An Administrator maybe :eusa_whis ?

[pogi_2nr]

a B.Sc., a few years experience, and some expertise in your field.

[leoandru]

What kinda job is that anyways? An Administrator maybe :eusa_whis ?

Thats more like a managerial position..

[Electrotechnic]

LOL....i was making a pass at Chris....lol....anyways....most of us have the tools...all we need is somewhere to show them......

[melbarr]

So the poll is for Jamaicans in the IT industry or for Jamaicans in IT... cause I voted but I had to move away to get my salary increase and now it may not be so much since everything here cost so damn much...

[pogi_2nr]

lol you voted then moved to cayman?
or you moved to cayman and voted?

Everybody always tell me to move to cayman and get a job... how is it over there?

Regards,
Pogi Tuner.

[hirky]

I think people working in IT in Jamaica are vastly underpayed compared to other countries. I have friends in the States working over 60K per annum, thats way more than 180K Ja per month and these aren't senior positions either!!

[pogi_2nr]

The cost of living is supposed to be higher up there.. maybe it balances out :D

[rodalembs]

The cost of living is supposed to be higher up there.. maybe it balances out :D

Yes that is the case....after taxes that person might make 4,200 per month..Rent might be 800 - 1000 depending where you live... so it can be just as expensive...

[jamrock]

I think people working in IT in Jamaica are vastly underpayed compared to other countries. I have friends in the States working over 60K per annum, thats way more than 180K Ja per month and these aren't senior positions either!!

How big are these companies? How many computers are on the network?

[raggy]

Is this thread restricted to persons working in the Technology Industry?

[melbarr]

lol you voted then moved to cayman?

I moved here then voted...

But I making four times what I was making in Ja with no further qualifications... However I must say it more than balances... Cause I can now live here and cover my bills in Jamaica which was getting very difficult whist I was there... Although I musgt this place is very expensive...housing costs here are ridiculous...

[Technoboy]

Another thing tell me...is there much to do in Cayman? Don't you otherwise get bored? It's such a tiny place. I hear there isn't much to do there. I am not sure, I'd like to go to a country solely to work without decent recreation and leisure.

[megiddo]

i have friends in cayman and they always goin out every friday night to clubs and stuff. plus you have the hotels you can go chill out there and pay the high tourist prices. better yet get a job at a hotel and hang out without paying tourist prices :)

[alexdevmaster]

I got a big big salary increase, so i need to reenter my poll response

I moved to Florida, and yes although things are lot more expensive here, not to mention there are just more things to spend your money on, it balances out, but not exactly. Lets take for instance that hypothetically speaking im taking home US$4,000/mo which is roughly JMD$240k/mo and i pay US$1k(JMD$60k) in rent charges, the difference is a whopping $3k or JMD$180k, and since rent is the biggest expense really, u now have alot of money to play with. Back in jamaica, my pay check could barely pay rent and do anything else after.

[Technoboy]

Damn son! $4000 US...what is your job title? Did it require a lot of qualifications? I realize that once you open up yourself to the International job market, things look so much better.

[Cunt-ry Bwoi]

its really a fact that jamaican man nuh love read as me see the question and think it say after tax. cho any way me a teacher me a beg some funds.

[pogi_2nr]

I think it says before tax.

[Nastrodamus]

My pay stub is so little I pay my company to keep me.

[seanbee20]

They say Crime doesn't pay so I guess my job is a crime :icon_mrgr

[Arch_Angel]

i dont have many friends on this forum so i am coolBut Alex, the few friends that you DO have on this forum, still bruk pocket. lol

Didn't know you moved to Florida. Thought you were still at that company, doing your usual programming work. Is dat long since we last link up? :D

[tredoggg]

but didnt y'll realize that the man said "hypothetically" or was everyone so caught up looking on the $4000 to see that alex may be getting More or less than the $4000 ...

[Arch_Angel]

but didnt y'll realize that the man said "hypothetically" or was everyone so caught up looking on the $4000 to see that alex may be getting More or less than the $4000 ...He said he got a pay increase. He also defended himself saying he doesn't have much friends on the forum, so he doesn't have to worry about friends begging him a smalls. Thus, it would only seem to indicate that he might be brining in that amount of money from his work. ;)

[pogi_2nr]

yeah, when creating this thread initially I should have stated Jamaica only.

Other countries seem to throw off the poll :)

[badboyclub1976]

mi kinda embarras still. cause mi si couple 180 and above and star mi nuh deh near deh so.

[MOB-Tools]

I totally agree with xeno, people shouldn't be askin other people how much they make its just wrong. Its in the human nature to be jealous, did u guys watch the movie ghost? and i am not evil, xeno u know this :)

This depends on the culture. In the US working at McDonalds gives $5.25 per hour ( or whatever) and everybody knows this. Also if you are a pro atlete/celebrity/entertainer then the salary is known and boasted about.

Here most people who are in the middle may be embarassed and not want people to know that they are making so little, or they may be making more but be afraid of the beggars.

[pogi_2nr]

lol my thread still going good, over a year now and its still active :)

$8.00 per hour to be specific ;)

[seanbee20]

$8.00 per hour to be specific ;)

I am hoping you mean 8USD per hour

[jamerican]

I am hoping you mean 8USD per hour
even if it USD that not money. when it $13 upwards

[seanbee20]

I just did a quick calculation in my head and I guess I would be earning J$XXXX.00 a hour :icon_mrgr

[jamaicandiva]

even if it USD that not money. when it $13 upwards


much better up there working in a food restaurant and making that money than being paid 20g a month and working ur head off.,..................
8US per hour, 40 hours a week, for 4 months, now do the math,...................let me help you out..........thats approx US$5120.00*65, which is JA$332800.00

[OddOne]

Not enough :icon_cry: :icon_cry: :icon_cry:

[jamaicandiva]

Not enough :icon_cry: :icon_cry: :icon_cry:


Some peeps would be more than happy to being paid that right now, but you know why this society suffers from unemployment, they all think that if they aint wearing suites, sitting behind desks, making atleast $50g a month, that job aint for them. I tell you, you have to start somewhere and allow people to recognise ur potentials than sitting home and waiting for that big break which may never come.

[silentburn]

Of the 101 persons polled to date 12.87% are making salaries above 180 gran. Can someone please give us an idea of the job post which gives this type of compensation and the most likely companies that these people work for?

Better yet, for all the people who are familiar with people making over 80 gran, please do the same. More importantly which jamaican company is willing to pay this type of money?

Are the people making over a 100 gran per month mostly top level managers?

[aonekilla]

Wouldnt this poll be kinda out dated now.. I would at least hope that some of us here who have already made their contribution to the thread and still have the privileage of being employed had made some type advance in the salary range... right???

[pogi_2nr]

I guess aonekilla has a point :) The poll was meant to be a snapshot at the time.
but it would be redundant to have a similar poll created again for the same purpose
so I guess we should let it alone. I too have climbed up a bit in the poll categories
since last year :D

@silentburn.. look carefully, the poll isnt about take home, its about gross pay.

[aonekilla]

yeh.. and i wouldnt be surprised if you'd be able to go into the >300k region if that was added... GOOD STUFF

[pogi_2nr]

lol I wish.. I am just another bruk pocket dregs like everyone else.

If you payed attention to seanbees posts, you might notice he is the money man.

[hirky]

I just did a quick calculation in my head and I guess I would be earning J$XXXX.00 a hour :icon_mrgr

DWL...........................yeah rite!..................:icon_mrgr

[Nihilistik]

from my experience the more increase in pay i got the less disposable income me have, for the first mth it nice but after you adjust you find you just living a richer broke life. i dont think is how much money you make i think is how much you have the day before payday cause in my experience @ my company managers calling accounts to find out if pay ready same like regular exec.(even though them making twice as much.

[codecarnage]

just because a person grosses > 180K per month doesn't mean that they're rich (not poor) ;) You would have to take into account their monthly expenses, commitments, debts. The more you earn the more your living expenses increase.

Yes for some reason the more money u make, the more it seems that expenses increase.
This may seem true..but it is US that create this bad economic situation...
when we start to earn a bit more...we want more...why!!!?...we want a better car that 'suits' our new status,....we want a new 2 bedroom apartment although we live alone and the 1 bedroom apt. served us quite well for 2+ yrs...We're under the illusion that we this around us are getting more expensive - which often times is the case - , however we create a situation which adds stress to our income.....
All that said i will admit that people do have expenses, commitments, debts but most of these were there we we made say $45k a month, now we're making 80k+ and we have more....if the expenses(barring gov. fees) remain constant or decrease then over time things should be looking better, rather than consuming every new dollar earned.

[silentburn]

@silentburn.. look carefully, the poll isnt about take home, its about gross pay.

Ok, but if you are getting JA$130,000 after tax that would still be real good money, atleast for Jamaica. If some people are paid JA$180,000 gross, it would be safe to say that some are atleast taking home JA$130 000 in their hands.

[pogi_2nr]

'The more you earn the more your expenses increase' This only applies to the foolish ;)

Was I the only one who read the story of the grasshopper and the ant when I was young?

The real issue is why do Jamaicans tend to live above their means?

[MaxFactor1]

Hirky - about SeanBee you were close but no cheesecake...

The fact is black people just live high... we were earning 60 bucks and bought peg cheese but now we earning 120 bucks we buy slice cheese... all of a sudden the 19" television look abit small so we buy a 32" wega... which is pon hire purchase... and the rims... they gots to be spinning... even if is the spinning hub caps... lol

lol This is the 2nd year anniversary of one of my better threads and its still alive!

I wish I could have made it more specific narrowing it down to the different fields
that fall under IT but this forum software doesn't have said features :thumbsdown:.

0. not working
1. min wage - 40k
2. 41 - 80k
3. 81 - 120k
4. 121 - 160k
5. 161 - 200k
6. 201 - 240k
7. 241 - 280k
8. 281 - 320k
9. > 321k
