What's an acceptable salary these days? Would you be comfortable at 70k, or you're looking for much more in your life..

We're all looking for much more
. It all depends on experience, education, location, etc. Some might be confortable with 70k, some might not. -

There is no real answer to such a broad question. So many factors go into something like that.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

This is highly depend on where you live, to maintain a middle class lifestyle in Manhattan, you need to earn at least 80k a year, on the other hand, there are places in the United States that you can live very well for only 40k a year.Still searching for the corner in a round room. -

$104,203.17, no more, no less. I believe this is exact answer everyone has agreed upon and is not debatable. -

I mostly get paid in experience right now. Talk to me after experience turns into serious dollars and I'll tell you if it is enough.
Spoiler: It won't be. -

OP, what kind of question is this?. X amount of money with Y and Z benefits it's not the same in San Francisco vs. Buford, Wyoming (population: 1). Besides, lots of people live comfortably with lower salaries while other have tons of money and don't. The question needs some serious rewording. -

Not really a serious one, i know. This is the thing though, I was offered another job and actually declined their offer, first words out of their mouth is if my current company raised my salary etc.. I told them not interested, and they want to know what is the reason, I don't owe them one really so just thought I would ask around here what is kind of a good salary to be making these days, but honestly with the large work load and knowledge you bring to the table, anything under 85k just isn't worth it these days.. -

Two things. One is market value and the other is location. If you are a junior to mid-level engineer in Charlotte you maybe happy with 70k. If you are a senior engineer in New York you'd most likely be upset with 70k.
If you are tier I help desk you would be doing backflips if you got 70k. lol -

Are you trying to tell us something?
As always, more is better I don't know what the upper limit is for me to feel embarrassed about my pay but if I get there, I won't let you know “I do not seek answers, but rather to understand the question.”
