The 35k I'm assuming is a sign on bonus

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

it’s not, that is your annual salary

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It’s probably the signing bonus, base pay for an E-1 is much lower. Going off 2023 rates the first year base pay comes out to $22,432.80 plus BAH/S, specialty pay etc. might bring it up to $30k ish. Even if they are coming in as an E-4 base pay will be $30,042.

Based on what information do you assert this as fact?

it's barely more than what they offered me when i was in high school and i told them to fuck off? military service does not pay all that well

[–] pythonoob 1 points 1 year ago

There are absolutely jobs that have a 35k sign on bonus. Or did at least. The way the OP is worded would be strange for it to be base pay. Sounds like a bonus to me. But you can think what you want.
