That's nowhere near accurate unless you're
1. Working in the bay area for one of the big tech companies
2. Working for an overvalued startup (which given the turmoil of the current stock market is not a very stable shot).
For reference as an entry level software engineer I started my career at 75k a year in a sector that's known for being very lucrative. This was in a fairly low to average CoL area and while you could scale to 120k+, that comes at around double the rent and general costs.
So 'why do you think you'll never own a home' is an incredibly loaded question, don't you think?
- softcactus 4y agoYou can get that salary remote in a LCOL area, but you do have to be in either "big tech" or a healthcare/energy/finance company.

Personally I know people in New York, Seattle, and Los Angeles that make similar salaries. Also, if you aren't working and planning to live in the bay area, housing prices are usually much more affordable
