This is not 1M+ per year, this is 100k+ per year. Six figures = 100k+

  > two six figure earners Since we are talking about Amazon highly paid engineers, could be 2x 200-500k.

    Amazon salary cap is 160k.

        I think they recently increased salary cap to $180k specifically for Bay Area. It varies by location.

          The link I posted shows Amazon salaries above $400k.

    Sure, but I'm assuming the worst case for six figures. If your household income is $200k then even in NY you can easily afford a nice house or high-end condo/apt in a good part of town, while living in comfort with no financial worry.
