I did some math on moons and my salary as a Engineering intern
I don't wanna make this into a sob story kinda post please, so just don't upvote it if you don't feel like it, but i want to talk about it because the numbers impressed me.
I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at one of the best public federal universities in the country, there's a whole gigantic test to get into it and stuff and usually companies like hiring people who studied where i do today, i work as a intern (which is a bit different from the US intern, we do basically actual engineer work and have a 2 yr long contract) and i receive like 169% of a minimum salary. So basically what i'm saying is that my salary is considered good for someone currently doing this type or work, it can go down as low as 40% of a minimum salary or even 0%, yes, some jobs are unpaid, fucking dumb imo and should never exist.
So, i did some calculations with these numbers:
My monthly salary (edit: 30hr/week) is 1750 Reais, using "Real to USD: 5,61 Reais / 1 USD"
-
Monthly Salary in USD: $311,94
-
Moons current value: $0.07385
I arrived at 4224 moons for a full months salary. By dividing by 0,88, current moons distribution, we get:
- 4800 upvotes for a full month salary
If we use the ATH for moons at $0,09059 we only need 3919 upvotes lol
Just seemed crazy to me and i wanted to talk about it. Moons are something that really impresses me about this sub.
