200k isn't that hard. Just go into management. You don't even need to be that high in a big company (even located in a low income region) to pass 200k.

- loewenskind 16y agoAnyone care to explain the down vote here? I worked at a large company in the midwest (very low pay compared to more populated areas) and a manager of managers (of workers, i.e. just 1 step above team manager) was making $240k/yr. That was 10 years ago. I doubt compensation has gone down.
- flacon 16y agoI live in Madison WI. 200K is C-suite territory around here for a mid-sized company. An exec at one of the huge insurance companies or biotech companies make more but that not typical. We have an Amazon affiliate here and mid-level managers make around $80-100K I think. I highly doubt their Chief Architects make more than 200K. 200K for mid-level management in the Midwest (outside Chicago) is unrealistic for sure.
- loewenskind 16y agoWell, that's bizarre then because the place I was in was a very depressed salary zone and a company with a (well deserved) reputation for underpaying even for their salary zone. And with any managers I've discussed this with, while never disclosing their salaries to me, have never been surprised.
