Quoted: WTF I won't even make half that. No wonder this website hates "that thar socialism talk" you're all a bunch of rich boomers. ![]() View Quote Personally I'm an older millennial software dork who turned a hobby in to a career. I know quite a few engineers who are 5 - 10 years younger than I am and make similar pay. |

I'm a self employed small business owner so not even close.

Quoted: WTF I won't even make half that. No wonder this website hates "that thar socialism talk" you're all a bunch of rich boomers. ![]() View Quote Now also consider (as you already have, I'm sure) that they had the ability to buy into a lot of equity markets early, like real estate, and have therefore benefitted from decades of fiscal and economic policy designed to make sure those markets rarely if ever lost value. The can is kicked to the end of the cliff. Maybe it's already been kicked over it? But yes, Arf does have a very skewed view of socioeconomics. (And a great thread on "socioeconomics and you!" (Bonk!)) |

On track for 300k. But that's because I have been at the job forever and live in a location where there is an extremely high cost of living allowance.

$172k salary
$22.5k 401k maxed employer match @4% HSA maxed out at 3850 $57k in comp so far In accelerators for Q4 looking to come in around 260k when all is said and done Pre Sales software engineer |

Close but not quite unless I count 401k match.
132k salary 10k bonus 6% match pits me at 150k and change. Next year should put me there with an increase based on my masters I finished up this year. I do a mix of cloud security and more recently data science to go along with security initiatives |

I'm an arfcommer posting in GD. Obviously I make that kinda coin.

Found out I was losing my job in nuclear in 2018, fortunately had a couple of years' notice. Decided to go back to school and grind my way into cybersecurity jobs. Currently a Sr. ISSO after less than 2 years in the field. It's 100% doable for anyone willing to put in the hours and work hard |

Quoted: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/14563/IMG_8662-3002675.jpg About 20% of the country makes over 150k View Quote That is household, not individual though. |

$220k base salary.
$ 26,000 403b contribution paid by my employer No revenue form rental property this year, transitioning some tenants and doing some major repairs. Revenue for my share of the the family farm land management business will be about $80k this year. Wife works as a high school English teacher, the does it for something to do. I think she makes like $48k or so. And yes, true to GD fashion I drive an 8 year old Toyota pickup. The IRS is going to love me tenderly this year... |

Quoted: Any tips to get into your line of work? View Quote I'm doing Professional Services for AWS - I basically work for AWS, but I embed with other large companies to teach them how to use cloud services, implement their migrations, etc. Right now I'm the technical lead on a project migrating 11,000 data pipelines from on-premises servers using a proprietary tool over to the AWS cloud. I didn't know this work or these type of roles existed when I was pitched this job by a recruiter, so I didn't exactly steer into it directly. That being said, this corner of the tech world is fairly nice because *I am not on call* and it is gatekept by professional exams which I actually enjoy, am good at, and on one occasion have contributed by helping to write one. I can't stress enough the benefit of having a well-paying tech job where I am never on call. I could double my income tomorrow by taking a non-consulting tech role with one of the other FAANG companies but I would have to work in an office and also be on call, a lot. I still make a pretty good living outside of a major city in my current role. Biggest gripe is that performance and monetary reward is extremely time delayed at AWS - that bump in stock I get next year is because of top performance in 2022 . . . I got a 20% pay cut in 2023 because of the stock price fluctuations, etc. If you want to get into this line of work (and I think it is going to be a very viable line of work for quite awhile) I would start by looking at the AWS certification exams, particularly the Solutions Architect - Associate exam. A site like ACloudGuru or Tutorials Dojo should have an inexpensive intro course to let you know what you don't know you don't know . . . if it isn't radically mind-numbing then one of the Specialty level exams (Databases/ML/Security/Analytics/DevOps) might be worthwhile. Once you have a handful of certs there are companies that will take interest, message me if you want to get more into it. |

Quoted: I'm an arfcommer posting in GD. Obviously I make that kinda coin. View Quote To put it another way, nobody making less than that, should be wasting time on any social media, much less Arfcom. Time Is Money, but ironically enough, when your Time becomes Worth more, you end up with more of it to waste. |

I'm right around $250k depending on bonus, could be more could be less, and not including 401k match since that's not material to my budget now. I still have a year and a half of alimony left though, and until that's up I'm living far below where I could be.

I would if the stock market was worth a damn for the rest of us that ain't in the Big Club.

My wife is a stay at home mom.
My 2023 Annual Salary: $106,500 Bonuses: $12520 401K: 100% match up to 8% So still under. |

Quoted: WTF I won't even make half that. No wonder this website hates "that thar socialism talk" you're all a bunch of rich boomers. ![]() View Quote Many of us started out poor. Being poor, is no excuse for being Communist. Don’t Covet your neighbors. Work harder than them. Hold Yourself to a higher standard. If you give in, to all the lowest base instincts of human nature, you’ve already lost. Demand more of yourself. Nobody is coming to the rescue. Despite the empty promises, it’s just You, vs. the Dog Eat Dog world. |
|
Yep, this will be my best year in terms of income.
I’ll clear $150K not including 401K match. |
|
Yes. Wife no work. I am looking forward to social security early next year.....and retirement sometime in the next couple of years. Gonna keep working during this economic turmoil.

Together, my wife and I will make about triple that this year. I'm a photographer, she's an editor.

Just as I suspected, most of Arfcom pulls down some major bucks. At least when posting in GD.
