Now if somebody is making $110K to $120K, even in
Nu Yoke, for essentially what I do all day, then yes,
they've got a cushy deal.
From CNN COL calculator:
Salary in New York (Manhattan) NY: $120,000
Comparable salary in Denver CO: $59,207.63
Not at all, if you consider the cost of living. I live in Denver, and I spit
on $60K jobs.
Don't hear about them, though.
Anybody making those bucks is not being a TW. They're
being a manager of a TW group, or a project manager
or something-or-other with more responsibility.
Nope. Just a writer. Lots of responsibility, but just a writer.
