My claim is roughly that making back ~1 median wage is not a high bar to meet. Over a working career I'd consider it below the error margin; it's 2-3% of lifetime earnings if you only earn median. Like, flubbing a single negotiation on any job could have a higher impact than that over the rest of your career.
