I don't even know what I would do with that much money. Maybe have 4 or 5 kids.
replyRetire earlier?
replyHonestly in a high COL city in the US, having 4-5 kids would be doable on $300k TC but it wouldn't be easy to give them more than a middle class lifestyle at best.
replyElsewhere in the US in smaller towns, I could see it being much more feasible.
I am in an MCOL and raising 2 currently on about half of that.
replyYeah, this is my current read on the market. If you're looking for typical $400k senior software eng role at a public tech company - you're going to be having a really hard time. Meta closed many roles and is laying off 8000. The rest of the public tech market seems to be following similar.
replyIf you're looking at 200k/yr roles in SF that are in person and looking closer to 996 than not - plenty seem to be hiring and trying to recruit. Downside? You have to be in SF 6 days/week and it's shit pay for the region. (You will likely have to do roommates because $200k/yr is borderline for a decent apartment in SF now due to 20% yoy price hikes)
