>>Millennials often struggle to find stability in their salaries, as this generation has a 20 percent lower average salary than previous generations.

Uh huh. The people in my office are all earning on par what we did 20 years ago before offshoring. Saw better pay days around the turn of the century.

But somehow minis are the first generation to have to deal with jobs only lasting 2-5 years and stagnant wages. Get real.

It the Age of the Snowflake. They live with Mom and Dad for 10 years after college, are only willing to take a first job if it pays six figures and allows them to work from the parents basement. This is what you get when you have Participation Trophies and don’t keep score at soccer games. Everyone’s a winner. Really? It seems to me they are mostly losers who don’t know how to function in the real world.

Grossly inflated. 77% of the US population does not live in the NE Corridor or California, much less the tech concentration of SV or NY/Boston.

VP, Sales 77
VP, Marketing Analytics 80
Director, Product Marketing 95
Enterprise Solutions Architect 91
Senior UX Designer 77
Channel Manager 47
Senior Software Engineer 94
Project Manager 46
Furthermore, a Millenial for a VP slot? These garbage listcicles would go away if there was a backlash pile-on.

Then again, 2DV would post obits from the Kansas City Star if he thought it would get 2 replies...yes I already know what your reply is and you already know what my response is, so don't bother...

The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not provide specific data on master plumbers, and instead groups data from plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters. However, the BLS states that apprentices typically make 30 to 50 percent less than a journeyman or master, so this data can serve as a benchmark. In 2010, the DOL reported the average wage for this trio of trades was $22.43 per hour, or $46,660 per year. The top 10 percent earned about $79,000 per year, while the lower 10 percent brought home an annual salary of about $27,000. The average annual salary is higher than for construction trades as a whole, which has an annual average of about $38,000. Time magazine reported, via an interview with a spokesperson for a Cincinnati, Ohio-based plumbing chain, that master plumbers with five to seven years experience can earn upwards of $100,000 per year.

in the last 10 years I hired engineers out of college at 55k/year at 2 companies. the companies dint balk and I interviewed 4x what I hired. there were some with attitudes, some unprepared, some were just complacent, and some had a little fire... who do you think I hired??

the teams I put together in those roles were some of the best I’ve ever had the benefit of working with. I doubt ill get a chance to do it again.

I'm really sick and damn' tired hearing about "millenials."

For the last three years or longer, my employer has been saying "we have to hire more millenials!"

Yesterday almost 500 highly skilled I.T. professionals where I work were let go from their high paying gigs. Not sure how many of them were "millenials" a very high number of them were over 45-50 years old.

Any bets how many of them are going to land gigs paying as much as they were making before being let go?

I'm sorry, F*** "Millenials." Lazy. Poor work ethics. Unreliable. Entitled. Worthless.

Not to many jobs start you out at 100k or more.
You are doing good if you start out in the 35-50 range.
