Nothing outside of like SV, finance, or being a doctor is probably going to get you $300k and above. However, you can do some important work and make above $100k in a fairly inexpensive area if you want.
- tene 4y agoHaving worked in SV for so long, it's hard to really imagine what this would actually look like. What are some examples of important work with decent pay in an inexpensive area that a SV tech worker could be good at?
- 7thaccount 4y agoIf you work with electric utilities or various regulatory entities (the wholesale power industry is pretty large) you'd be making well north of $100k as an individual contributor (engineer, technical analyst, software engineer, operator, economist... etc) if you have about 8 or more years of experience. If you live in any of the southern states, a house is easily findable in the $180-$250k range. That's better than having to buy a $1.5M home on a $300k budget. You can expect to work around 40 hours per week with some occasional rough patches depending on the job.
- iamthepieman 4y agoDefense contracting is somewhere in between. Whether that's better than the three industries you mentioned is up to you.
- danuker 4y ago> finance Compound interest is the eigth wonder of the world. Knowing what will be profitable in the future is analogous to knowing what problems will plague humanity. And investing for future profit equates to mitigating them.
- darkerside 4y agoLawyers and small business owners can go on that list
- 7thaccount 4y agoYeah. Should've added certain skilled trades like plumbers and electricians as well.
