With those criteria, assuming you are in the tech field, you're probably making an order of magnitude more than your age-group peers.
It seems entirely reasonable that you wouldn't bump into the non-tech crowd since they can't afford the same lifestyle as you.
Over here in the Midwest, software jobs pay much more in line with other college-educated professions.
As a result, I'm the only programmer in my friend group, and most of the people make the same ballpark of money as I do.

- throw51319 6y agoHow much does a software engineer make in the midwest?
- war1025 6y agoI'm making right around $100k. I believe that's a pretty average market rate for the area, but I really don't know. I see a lot of job listings in the $80-$120k range.
- throw51319 6y agoHow many years experience? Senior? That's pretty solid... I guess would be comparable to like $150k in a place like nyc?
- war1025 6y agoYea I think generally they are advertised as Senior level roles. I have ~10 years experience.
