I think this is mostly a US thing. Why use yearly salary? You’re not paid once a year, are you? Most likely once a month. Referencing monthly salary makes much more sense.
“I’m making 50k”. Great, now I have to guess - dollars? Monthly? Yearly? If yearly then what’s the monthly paycheck? Net? Gross?
Yearly = professional job hourly = wage slave unskilled work
As a freelancer, I charge a high daily rate, even more complex measurements!
Lol who would hear “I’m making 50k” and think it’s anything other than per year unless they just stepped out of a private jet…
I feel like this might be confusing only if you are under the age of 14 and have no idea how money or the world works…
Not in basically all of the English speaking world. USD, CAD, AUS, Pounds, Euros, NZD. 50k a month or week or whatever you for some reason think it might be other than a year would be an insane amount of money to make.
I bet you’re the kind of person that hates it when you ask the time and people respond by rounding it to the nearest 10 minutes…
I know people who make 50k per month and don’t have jets. I make 30k p/m but I’ll get there one day. It’s crazy how when I was broke making $20/hour in a cafe that I thought everyone or most people are broke but now I’m making modest money it’s crazy how many other entrepreneurs are in my circle now. Just wow.
“I’m making 50k”. Great, now I have to guess - dollars? Monthly? Yearly? If yearly then what’s the monthly paycheck? Net? Gross?
Guess? It’s called math. You want to know monthly? Divide by 12. You’re mad that you have to do math? It’s a standardized number.
For yearly to hourly divide by 2 and lop off 3 zeros. $35/hour = $70,000/year (approximately)

It’s just a choice. It means nothing. Conventions are conventions merely because people started doing it that way. If you don’t understand, then ask a question.
What exactly is your challenge here?

I think they were asking a question? There isn’t a challenge they’re doing exactly what you said to do in the correct place to do it lmao.
Aha. I see the confusion now. Oops.
I meant ask a question in response to someone saying “I make 50k”, when they mentioned that now they have to guess.
My point is that conventions are arbitrary, different people use different ones, and when someone uses a different one to you, then simply ask to clarify. Then I wondered why this presents a challenge.
That’s what I meant.
Ah that makes sense. I see a lot of comments seemingly replying to the wrong comment, I’m on kbin and the comments are pretty clear for me but maybe other instances they are still confusing. Sorry if it seemed like I was coming at you, the incorrect context made your comment seem incredibly hostile for no reason haha. Have a good one man
