Slightly related. I openly share my salary information with all of my friends in tech, 90% share their history back with me. I refuse to let social mores depress my wages or those of my friends. I recommend all engineers do the same.
- sjg007 9y agoOk, how much?
- throwaway911233 9y agoI make ~$200k in an affordable city not on the coast. I could make $300k - $400k in NYC. I write and maintain programs for finance.
- AnimalMuppet 9y agoHow do you get a job in finance while not on the coast? Remote work? Work in a branch? Work for a regional outfit?
- quuquuquu 9y agoMy money is on Charlotte NC, or perhaps Austin or Dallas if Charlotte is considered the coast somehow. 200k in those areas is obviously quite good but not life-altering money. You'll need to work 5-10 years before you become a millionaire. Anesthesiologists in that area can make up to 600k.
- flachsechs 9y agolive on the coast for a while, build/augment your career and social circle, and then move somewhere else and keep your job(s). note this plan actually involves dedicating years of your life to something without a guaranteed payoff or clearly defined steps, which is why it seems like such a mystery to most people.
