To be honest. I make around a £31k basic salary (Not sure on the equivalent in US dollars).
I also receive the following company benefits:
Company car ? BMW 330CI 2006
Company fuel card
Company mobile phone
Company PDA
Two company laptops. One which is a Core Duo Dell 17inch. The other a Celeron M basic Toshiba.
And the ability to blag a lot of stuff on my expenses

.
I'm 24 years old, 25 in feb. I'm a Project Manager, with most of my dealings on
government contracts.
Explains the perks...lol
My company gives me nothing extra. Just the $62k salary and I'm 23.
Yeah its pretty cool having a moderate level of security clearance, you get to meet the top people that are in the forces when visiting various different military sites. I do most of my work on MoD contracts, where the serious money is.
$62k, that must be pretty decent wage over in the US I would have thought. I don?t know what my wage would equal over in the states. I know the exchange rate is nothing to go by however.
According to Google's conversion factor you make 59,048 US dollars per year.
Depends on where you live as well.
$60k in NY, Cali is utterly useless.
$60k here is really quite good.
After rent, insurance, car, food, services, etc. I save $2k a month. ($24k a year)
Keep in mind I don't have to pay for health insurance, I have one of the nicest appts in the city and costs only $640 in rent. A nice house here is ~$200k.
Sure you can knock a measly $2k off my pay due to currency conversion...but cost of living is far more influential in your compensation.
