100k isn't what it used to be. I recall the job site "TheLadders.com" opened in 2003 advertising "Only 100k+ jobs, only for 100k+ people". That's like $60,000

That's like $60,000 today.
- lucianh 2y agoI reckon with inflation this is going to get worse. However, we have 2 options there: a. raise the minimum to $150K but reduce jobs for people outside of the US to basically just a few if any b. keep it at $100K (for now), and let the person adjust with salary ranges filters

- nsxwolf 2y agoMy observation is that back then we used the number as an anchor for where "the good life" starts, and we still seem to be doing that, even though it's an amount that's getting you closer to "just scraping by".
