What is your REAL salary? What is your REAL salary?
Career development

I’ve literally no idea on if the salary anyone tells me is the actual. To me, salary means the base; but it seems almost everyone includes bonuses, benefits, 401k matches into their salary.

It sounds ridiculous when my friend told me his salary is 140k

Example: 98k base, and the 42k extra is counting his pension value at maturity. I feel this shouldn’t even be counted as you pretty much can’t even touch that money. He probably also included how much he saves on insurance into it
