TWO DAYS EVERY TWO WEEKS IS FUCKING NUTS
WE LOVE ANARCHO-CAPITALIST CORPORATOCRACIES

I did the math and converting 1 million yen into usd. (And if we pretend there was no massive economic changes that come with an alien invasion.) that ends up being 15$ USD an hour with a 80 hour work week. and a 71k a year. Its actually not much for a security contractor especially one with as dangerous of a field that sumire is working in. Its also funny that they add a mandatory retirement at 60 because no one is gonna reach that age in the field.

Overall the girlfailure really is down bad for money too have that reaction for what is probably a 6$ raise.

I came here just to explain to you fools how good her contract is:
-The BASE pay is 1M yen per month. This might seem low to Londoners and big city Americans, but this is DOUBLE the average salary in Tokyo. The average annual salary for someone working in finance in Japan is 6M yen a year, we're at 12M here, and there are bonuses on top of that.
So yes, this is crazy good in Japan, even accounting for living in Tokyo and her debts.
-Furthermore, she has a 30k yen housing allowance a month. Rent obviously depends on where you live and how big your place is, but this can go from paying 15% of her rent all the way to 90% (if renting a very small place, which she is), those are Tokyo prices BTW.
-Up to 50k travel allowance a month. This pretty much covers all of her commuting costs.
-2 days off per week + tons of paid leave and vacations. This is even more generous than a lot of European countries (in fact a lot of the contract is).
-Pretty much everything is covered insurance-wise, even unemployment.

TL;DR
This contract is incredibly good, even accounting for the risks: she is getting paid as well as a Japanese Self-Defense Force's GENERAL (yes, you read that right).
So no, she isn't "getting tricked because she doesn't know any better" here. This contract is genuinely amazing.

The JSDF is a goverment role and has alot better working conditions and isnt known for its high salary. If you do the math and assume that the minimum hourly wage is 5-10$ it ends up being a 11ish dollar raise from her last position. IRL PMC/Private security contractors make 150k+ yearly nearly double her salary. (This is assuming the economy is similar too our worlds but i bet it is it looks like humanity is up too its old nonesense.)

dunno why no one else made this comparison yet, but this reminds me of magilumire

1 mil yen monthly salary seems a bit low for fighting aliens.

right? What's that? On the order of 80k to 120k per year in freedom coin?? It's a good salary, especially as base pay before raises but, look, she's a cyborg, possibly the only one, risking her life fighting space aliens. I think she's worth a lot more.
