The Lakers wants to hire a fitness coach who is "responsible holding them accountable for their work in the weight room"

[dhsilv2]

To me who lives in Lithuanian economy, 200-250k per year sounds absolutely insane.

It's pretty insane in the US too, but this is LA.

For Los Angeles, considering they want an individual plan for everyone on a 15-team roster, this actually sounds like a low-ball offer to me lol

Well, it is Lakers organization, and economy in LA is way different, but over here, a lot of people make like 10k a year and their jobs are also hard. Managing 16 athletes does not seem that terribly hard, of course there is accountability and all, these are not random dudes from a GYM, but, you could buy a low tier Euroleague player with 250k.

This person is managing a team of other trainers. And dealing with 15 athletes who's needs can change rapidly. I don't see this as an easy job at all.

Did they not have one of these before

Assumed they’d be paid a lot more tbh. Maybe there are bonus incentives? And maybe can still work with outside clients

One obvious incentive is you get to work for the Lakers. That's probably worth 50-100k a year for the right applicant. I would hope there are also lots of expenses paid for all the travel; per diem and stuff. It does sound low. I dunno.

That's a MONSTER resume builder. Not just a trainer for the lakers. But the manager of the trainers. That'll be worth a lot when you leave after a few years and take on rich clients or do social media stuff.

No comment on who has hard jobs, but...

Cost of living, my man. Living 6.5 years in Asia taught me that exchange rates tell you nothing about how far money goes in a given economy. There are some places where you can live like a prince on "$2,000" a month, and others where'd you'd probably be homeless and hungry on "$2,000" a month.

I used to hear "people in Africa live on a dollar a day" and think "so they're lucky to eat once a month?" No, meals cost less than 50 cents where they live.

I'm no economist, but like I said, I have a lot of firsthand experience with this phenomenon. You feel it differently when you live somewhere and have to pay for everything (rent, phone bill, insurance, etc.) at local rates, as opposed to when you travel.

Sorry if I come off harsh. Just got back from the grocery store. Spent $142 and probably didn't get enough food for one day.

$45 (nearly $49 after tax) on shaving blades...

How many blades did you get?

Likely got hired to help some movie star or rich daughter of lose 10 pounds for 800k a year...

Just look at house for sale prices in LA. That salary won't seem so impressive to you then.

Not the ones I linked but some generic stuff I've found over the years have lasted 3x longer than the big brand stuff, while being 1/3 the price. I'm completely done with the big brand names.

Only 250K to live in LA and train multi millionaire athletes and keep them accountable?

Tech jobs pay that much lmfao.
