    For those of you in the USA, do you guys usually get like 1/6th of your paycheck cut out due to federal and state taxes and medicare?

    16% tax rate is fucking low. I hate you so much.

    My tax rate is something like 28% and I would LIKE TO PAY MORE as long as it didn't go to any sort of military spending.

    No I mean like I'm getting a lot cut out of my paycheck at this new place I'm working at.

    I think I got bumped into a higher income bracket.

    My statement still stands. Taxes pay for shit that we use so stop bitching that they took it for taxes.

    Edit especially when you are in a 15% tax bracket.

    I don't actually have their number. They never gave me one. First guy who called was an outside of the company recruiter, and from then on it was emails. Besides. My stutters 100x worse on the phone. I can't actually order pizza and chinese food and stuff because of it.

    If I don't hear back with even an REJECTION by Monday though, I'm gonna send an email, I guess. Pout.

    It's sticker shock for me. But now I realise I'm actually making big people money now. Jeez. It all happened so fast.

    Remember guys when estimating your tax bracket you have to consider
    Federal Tax
    State Tax
    Social Security
    401k if you have one
    Health insurance if you have it.

    The eye roll was because you are probably calculating your tax bracket horribly wrong if you live inside the US.

    edit: but it sounds like you don't live in the US.

    That was an odd coincidence. I just got an email from them, and they want me to.. Actually, I'm not sure I understand, this english is awful, and it's not actually from them but forwarded from someone else. But I think they want me to do a paintover of one of my scenes (Or 3d render it again but I god damned told them I can't) and now I'm going to be stressing for another 7 days. And to. Make it more 'blade runner'y.

    Expect to see me postin some paintovers.
