I see so many here claiming to earn six figures. How the hell did you actually do that?The only person I know who earns that is my doctor and that’s just because he’s a doctor. How do other people get these super rich jobs?
>>62715968The majority of my friends make more than 100k/yr. For those that I know make more than that, there’s a cop, a union guy who manages traveling shows, an aircraft maintenance guy, a (senior) graphic designer, and a guy who works in health and safety for a government lab. “Six figures” in the sense of 100-200k is not very high
>>62715968$100k has the same purchasing power as $60k did pre-covid. It's just a normal salary now and nothing impressive
>>62715968If you live in the U.S near a metro area and have a college degree you pretty much make "six figures" automatically, and it's not that much until you get to high six figs (maybe $650k plus).
>>62716007$60k pre Covid made someone a piece of shit just like 100k does now.I earn $60k right now and even this makes me a bad person, 100k is unforgivable
>>62716009I live in downtown Toronto and have a Masters in Economics, my undergrad was at WhartonNobody here makes six figures. Nobody makes more than $80k I highly doubt the usa is that differentIn fact without connections to Epstein in some way it’s impossible to earn six figures here Even more than $60k makes someone a piece of shit
>>62715968In the tech world it's commonplace. And if you're at a really successful place like FAGMAN, seniors making $500k is quite common. Now, if you also live in San Francisco, Santa Clara, etc, a huge chunk of that disappears because of cost of living. But if you're smart and work remotely somewhere cheap, it's a pure $ firehose.
>>62716029I live in Toronto, I used to work for a tech company.Not a single person made over $80k. If somebody was to earn that much im pretty sure the other people would flag them alive for being so wealthy, assuming they found out
>>62716027The U.S is completely different. People in white collar industries might start lower than 100k but should EASILY be making that in their 20s. Many people who work in finance, tech, consulting, etc. will make more than 100k coming out of undergrad. This is easily verifiable information, just look at entry-level job postings in major cities for these sectors. If you went to Wharton and are making 80k you're doing something seriously wrong.
>>62716048Bro, I am in India, and I make more than 80K (your) dollars. You should try getting out of your misery bubble, and try taking a new job.
>>62716048Here's a simple example:https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/details/Senior-Software-Engineer--Hardware-Tools-and-Methodology-Development_JR2012046>168,000 USD - 264,500 USD for Level 4In most of silicon valley, seniors is level 5. And this is just salary. It is quite common to basically get a similar number in RSUs. So if you're getting a salary of $250k, you're probably also getting around $250k in RSU's a year. Also worth pointing out, for engineers the level system typically goes up to 7. Guys at that level (there aren't many) are pulling down millions.
>>62716059That’s literally impossible if they don’t know EpsteinLook at job posting, big four is paying $60k. I work finance and earn $60k, was esrning $50k earlier this year>>62716060No you don’t, you would need to know Epstein to make that much especially in India
>>62716063And another. Principle (level 6 usually)https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/details/Principal-Software-Engineer_JR2024363>The base salary range is 272,000 USD - 431,250 USD
>>62716060Your life would be hell being that wealthy. Being that pedophilic would burn your soul worse than any torture >>62716063I was in tech sales and it was $50k total compensation
>>62716072>I was in tech sales and it was $50k total compensationOk, but it's not really fair to say "you were in tech" then. That's like the receptionist at the hospital saying "I'm in medicine". When we're talking about tech, we're generally talking about the main workforce - engineers.
>>62716069Really? Here's a random job at Citi in "consumer cards" (not even real finance like IB, S&T, etc.) that pays 90k. It's an analyst job which means straight out of college.https://jobs.citi.com/job/new-york/u-s-consumer-cards-full-time-analyst-new-york-usa-2027/287/100133567712
>>62715968Suck 100k dicks a year for a dollar each
>>62716009correct.I make about 170 in tech, wife makes about 130. We invest about 10k a month but live in a high cost of living area. mortgage and house is another 5k. food gas insurance all that shit adds up real quick. we've got plenty of spending money and take trips and eat out but its not like even 2 6 figure earners in a major metro is a yacht and private jet life. we both paid off large student loans quickly. I bought as soon as possible which built a ton of equity for the next house. we both drive beaters and wear normal stuff, the only way you'd know we have money is the house, its large and in a very nice area.if we can keep it up for another decade we will both be done working in our 40s, probably low to mid. currently around a 1.5m invested, we need about 2.5m to continue living our current life, 4-5m would be a lot more comfortable. coming up on mid 30s now. there's no magic secret do something that makes decent money, keep your lifestyle in check and invest at least 25%, 35% or more is ideal.
>>62716082IB isn’t real financeAnd my friend is a research analyst for alternative investment consulting and makes $55k
Notice that all the replies are coming during a workdayMost of the repliers either don't have jobs, or have jobs where it doesn't matter if they're shitposting or notYou're not actually getting responses from people who know fuckall about what you asked, just larpers.
I make more than $1 mil a year but I own a collection agency.
>>62716072>>62716081Maybe, its this, but I thought sales guys also earned as much as engineers, since my corporate treates them as little princesses.Bro, I would honestly recommend you to stop coping, and maybe look for a new job with an open mind. It may be true or not, worth atleast finding out.My experience is Toronto should be 5x India salary, and US around 7-8x. For an engineer, that means 400k at around 5 years of experience.Even if you are sales, 50k seems too low, 100k is achievable.
>>62716089I mean, there's two concrete examples posted, directly from nvidia. The compensation structure in big tech isn't much of a secret.
>>62716072Also, I am ever more wealthy than the salary would indicate, thanks to my grandpa and his father, but I like to live a simple life, so you don't have to neccessarily burn in hell.I would refer you but this site has half chance of very good people, and half complete schizo.Sorry bro, and good luck, hope you make it too.
>>62716089It is a unfair world.I have unfathomable salary, and even greater freedom. I go AFK for hours and days with no explanation.On the other hand, if I take a lower salary job, I would have to be a literal slave.
>>62716111>I go AFK for hours and days with no explanation.You gotta go touch the keyboard at least once an hour so it looks like you're still on Slack ;)
>>62716089>>62716111Same make $250k literally cam off in some "workshop" on zoom for the last two hours doing other shit.
>>62716119I don't even pretend, I just ignore it if nothing urgent is going on.My lead would call me occassionally say once in a month if its something urgent, and I try to make myself available then, or go on call from my phone.I did got snubbed a bit at pay raises due to this, but I am still averaging around 50% annual, so who gives a fuck.I do feel bad about other people working so hard, and being paid so less, but hey I didn't make the rules, I am just playing the game as is.
>>62716147>averaging around 50% annual50% annual raise? Or 50% in TC because the stock is headed to the moon? 50% in raises is something I've never heard of. That wouldn't be sustainable.
>>62716208Stock appreciation is not contributing much, it is actually 50%. I know its kinda crazy.You are probably right, maybe its not sustainable, and they are using my availablility as a cover to squeeze more out of me.I actually got very lucky with the timing, and built a very strong dependecy.They have been trying to hire people my level and just couldn't get anyone good for so long now. Eventually, they increased the offer price to new hires, and I used that as leverage again.
>>62715968I know some people but after taxes it's pretty far from six figures
>>62716063>>62716071man just gotta be the top 1% of software engineers at the top 1% of successful companies to make much as a some nepo kids interest on his trust fund
>>62716545Senior engineers are a dime a dozen. People make senior 3 to 4 years out of college. You can't be a retard, but as long as you're a reaonably good programmer and put in the effort, anyone can make level 5 .
I make 100k even and I have a degree in electrical engineering, doing FPGA and embedded control systems and signal processing design workI'm also egregiously underpaid
>>62715968100k is literally minimum wage these days. I make that much being a server at mcwagie.
>>62716718Yeah, hardware niggas really get shafted compared to programmers.
>>62715968anon, a lot of tech people and crypto faggots who hit the jackpot visit this board.
>super rich>$100kKekYes I earn 6 figs because I work in tech. It's not hard or rare.
>>62716048haha wow...poor leafs manidk how I'd be making any forward progress financially on less than $100k, and even that isn't going to get you an early retirement.
>>62716120Definitely bro
>people pushing the programming meme again after the programmingcaustWhat is wrong with this fucking board.
>>62717526Anon, don't believe the news blindly, are you new to this world?I don't know what will happen in the future, but currently the engineers are making bank.I don't know about people like "web developers", they might be the ones facing heat.
Bump, let the seething continue.
I clear 250 but I do generic middle management tech thingsthis isn't particularly impressive7 figures is the old 6 figures desu, I know a guy who works high up for one of the AI cos and he is legitimately balling out due to 7 fig TC, he's hitting the 'reality bending' part of making a lot of money
>>62715968I went to my 20 year reunion and people at the bottom of my class are making over $100k doing stuff like hauling fuel to gas stations.
>>62718876I wouldnt work for more than a year if i earned that much. What even drives someone to keep going after that unless youre literally building a dynasty and have 7 children?Does that person have children?
>>62718886they do yeahI think its a partly lifestyle inflation and partly ego investment but I know he's saving a ton of moneyI think his retirement target is 10mm NW but targets have a way of shifting
>>62718896Also there is no guarantee you can get the same job 10 years later. So, everyone tries to maximize the corpus. Also, women don't think like us, and will force you to work endlessly once married.
>>62715968In the UK £100k is pretty low in London. I know mid-level HR professionals is medium sized companies making well over £100k now. Software engineering salaries have pretty much doubled in the last ten years too.
I deserve yummy white pussy
>>62715968I make about $250k leafbucks per year, software developer + bonus + rental income from tenantsThe job I'm at didn't start paying so well until about 2020 where we've seen a lot of growth. Basically luck by being in the right place.
>>62715968Increases over time from switching jobs or raises. Took me about a decade to get over 100k, starting from entry level pay of around 42k
