It is uncommon to discuss your income at all, as deemed private. Personally, I totally get it and feel the same way. However, this veil of secrecy often obscures details that distort the big picture.</p> <p>As an employee, the most important figure regarding your compensation is a gross salary. Gross salary is the base amount a company offers you; every other calculation is relative to this number. After all mandatory deductions are made, what you keep is your net income. It sounds simple enough, but there is more to it than that.</p>https://yngvest.github.io/blog/log/setting-up-log-section/Mon, 09 Feb 2026 22:22:22 +0200https://yngvest.github.io/blog/log/setting-up-log-section/<p>Just spent some time setting up this new log section for my blog. The idea is to have a place where I can share more casual, diary-style posts without the pressure of making them super polished and comprehensive like my main blog posts (single post kekw). This or just the wish to tinker with Hugo, haven&rsquo;t decided yet.</p>
