My first job out of college in NYC paid $80k, and I am not a particularly good, money hungry, or hard working developer. I was able to get that to $100k within a year (age 23) via negotiation. You're getting taken advantage of. Even if you're 22 (and if you are, I'd delay having a family tbh), you could probably get to six figures by applying to another job. I understand times seem tough but honestly my company and others have been hiring just as much if not more. No offense to any service workers but a software engineer in NYC having to Instacart is... not right.
