  • It sounds like providers are trying to hide monthly fees in an attempt to obscure them. My ISP will let me ‘rent’ a modem for $10 a month, but I just decided to buy my own for $60 fifteen years ago. My brain says that’s $1800 (it could be wrong, it’s late). If I didn’t know I was paying a $10 monthly fee, I’d never have bought my own.

    And if a fee is actually a tax, just put that on the bill. It’s pretty simple.







  • US, Mechanical Engineer here. It definitely depends on where you are. In a city you’ll start out between 60 and 75k. Rurally, between 45 and 60k. The size of the company will also play a big role.

    Also, consider that you won’t really get any raises unless you move to another company. Talent retention doesn’t rank as high as talent recruiting unfortunately.
