Right out of university: you generally don't command a $100k+ salary. By the time you hit 30 though you should definitely be there unless you are working somewhere with really cheap living. $200k+ is possible even in your mid to late twenties and even outside of Cali and New York.
- kevinnk 12y agoIf you're living in the Bay Area and are competent enough to be hired by a big tech company you can absolutely command a 100k+ salary pretty much regardless of seniority. There are Google interns getting paid almost 90k (~7500 monthly.)
- EpicEng 12y agoWell, the parent said "generally", and if you're living in the bay area, that 100k is what you need to get a decent place to live.
- 3pt14159 12y ago> If you're living in the Bay Area and are competent enough... Most people are not competent enough at 24 to be hired by a big tech company. Furthermore, big tech companies pay a "we're no longer cool" tax of about $25k higher than going market rates. The vast majority of graduates are not earning $100k.
