Isn't that practically poverty level on HN? That's like one person making $100K and a spouse making $68K. Don't entry level SWEs make as much by themselves these days? Plus stock options. And ping pong tables.
- luckylion 7y agoIn SF, maybe. In most places, hardly. And keep in mind that entry level SWEs usually don't have kids that are at the age of heading off to Harvard, so they'd earn that income for a decade or two. That would probably put them somewhere in the range of the average income with their dividends alone.

- perl4ever 7y agoYou seem to start with a tone of disagreement about something, but overall seem to be agreeing with what I said, that in context, around here, $168K is not very much, especially when it, on average, would be more than one earner. Why do you tell me to "keep in mind" essentially the very point I was making?
