- koolba 9y ago$250K/year isn't chump change either. Let alone both having such jobs. Salaries in SV are high but they're not that high for most. At the single income level it's rare to have employees (NOTE: not contractors or business owners) surpass $3-350K. Plus, if you plan on raising a family[1] then you'd have the added costs of a full time nanny as I doubt anyone with a $250K+ job is going to be around much to raise their kids. [1]: Which I'm assuming they are if they're buying a 4BR house...
- dmoy 9y agoYou get promoted once at a place like Google or Apple after 4 years and you're making like 250k/yr (as a software person). 300-350k is easily attainable. I think there's a lot of people on HN who are unaware of how high comp is at the big 4/5 tech employers.
- jsjohnst 9y agoYou obviously don't work at Apple! ;)
- stygiansonic 9y agoI never said it was chump change and I specifically mentioned big tech companies, not employees at most companies. Please don't put words in my mouth. I also respectfully disagree that it's rare: https://www.paysa.com/salary-rank https://www.paysa.com/salary-rank
