I'm on hourly wage, but I make mid to high 50s yearly. 24 years old in IT. Should be getting a raise end of next month which will hopefully bump up to, or over, 60K.

Unlike others, I see nothing rude in asking. Maybe its because most of the people I work with are from a blue coller background and are more open about their income, due to the union OT hour structuring rules. In other words, our total incomes are posted every payday to help determine who gets called for overtime, with lowest getting called first and so on.

Anyway, I make 36.44/hr and grossed 121k this year.

My first job, my wage was $1.90 Cdn/hour.

I'm not going to say what my salary is now, but I will confirm that it is more than I earned at $1.90/hour.

If you get paid hourly, you're earning a wage, not a salary. And there is a difference beyond how they treat overtime. A lot of wage jobs have low or no benefits, and just about every wage earner I know reports less gross annual income on their federal taxes than they should if you annualize their wage rate, which means that you cannot extrapolate hourly wages to annual salaries.

The reason it's rude is if you say what you make, you automatically put the people around you into classes. If you make 121K a year, and the guy you're talking to is having a problem getting a decent job and only making $20k/year, you're going to put yourself into a higher social class than him and it will make him feel uncomfortable.
