You really can’t make a blanket statement about whether a particular salary makes you well off, unless you consider cost of living in the area where it’s necessary to live.
There are places in the US where someone with a $60,000 a year salary has a higher standard of living then someone making $100,000 a year.
- ev1 5y agoPretty much this - making $100k in SF is considered low income (102k is "low income" for 1 person, 147k is low income for 4 person household according to Housing and Development) and you likely don't qualify for any rental by yourself, not even a studio - you wouldn't be able to meet minimum makes-more-than-x-times-rent requirements. From my experience, the physical-virtual divide isn't quite at 100k, but it's more job title dependent. Many places are already swapping lower paid support/helpdesk/call centre staff to WFH; however there is much more rather gross surveillance and preventing from fooling around, timed login sessions, etc compared to engineers that can go run off to do laundry in the middle of the day.
