Yep, straight out of undergrad. If anything I feel bad for the Master's+ students that get hired since it only adds like 10k to the base @_@ 
  
 I hear so much about taxes being bad that I'm relieved that they really aren't nearly as bad as I thought they'd be actually. So many hyperbolic figures get thrown around haha

Eh, once you get up there it sucks. Every extra dollar I make is taxed at 48% (NYC City+State is about 10% on its own). Makes short term options trades pretty awful too so I'm probably done with this sub soon minus the great memes. 
  
 Yeah, masters is pretty bad financially.  
  
 Hows life at your job? 9-6? I'm probably gonna pivot at some point to a new career so curious
