Is it normal for someone in their early 30s to make less 80k a year?

Who the F cares about your anecdote and stop lying. Love these liars who never write what exactly they do to earn the money.

Love the inept on DCUM who cannot use Glassdoor to see that Every. Single. Sr manager in an F500 across the USA makes more than 80k!!!! That’s hundreds of thousands of people!!!! Were you hatched yesterday?!

And the 15 million people who work under them at these Fortune 500 companies? They all can’t be senior managers. And what about the majority of Americans who don’t work at a Fortune 500 company? The two biggest employers in the US are Walmart and Amazon. For the government it’s the USPS. Millions of low wage earners.

You never said what your job is?

Amazon warehouse workers are making $25/hour to start in many places. You can get that job at 18 and that's $52,000/year. I would think by 30 you could get many promotions and be over $80k.

I don't know about USPS, but UPS workers just negotiated a new contract and drivers now earn $200,000+.

Honestly, it's all the people working at Dollar General making $7.50/hour or the random small local business or yes many teachers in the vast majority of states are making less than $80k. I believe Arizona teachers were only making like $38k on average...similar for states like Oklahoma and Arkansas.

No, most UPS drivers do not make 200k, maybe end of career. Pay to start is around $22/hour. And a lot of jobs like Amazon warehouse do not ever lead to a promotion.

DP I’m not sure what you are being so aggressive about? Why are you going on and on about this??
Low wage workers in hourly jobs are on one end of the spectrum
Most first jobs for college grads pay 55-65K - to 22 year olds. They can easily make 80K 8 years later. That’s the other end.

DCUM skews highly educated. Most have advanced degrees, MDs, MBAs, JD, Masters. So income is very high. Highly educated parents tend to put their children on similar paths as well so you’ll see that reflected on the parenting, education and college threads too.
If you’re talking about low wage workers in the U.SA, obviously they do not make 80k
But a lot of DCUM is the top 5%, 3%, 1%.

Disagree. It really depends on the Forum you enter. For example, the College Forum is just ridiculous and pretty much a straight feed from the Private schools forum. Similar to the real state forum.
However, most of the other forums in DCUM are for regular working class people [b]not 1-5%. [/b]

and to the OP, yes it is common for an early 30s to make 80k.

LOL
There are no threads on this forum that are FOR one group or another. DCUM is DCUM, it skews wealthy.

FYI Walmart and Amazon are Fortune 500 co’s

You’re right, good catch. So this is from Glassdoor. Walmart, the number one employer in the US.

“ The estimated total pay range for an Executive at Walmart is $79K–$147K per year, which includes base salary and additional pay. The average Executive base salary at Walmart is $72K per year. The average additional pay is $33K per year, which could include cash bonus, stock, commission, profit sharing or tips.”

That’s a poor search. Don’t search for ‘executive’ on Glassdoor as that is not a actual job. Search for real job titles instead.

At Walmart, you can search for these on glassdoor for example:

Sr. Product Manager
Software Engineer
Business Analyst
Operations Manager
Accountant

You’ll see many roles at Walmart pay at or over 80K. I feel like you’re just thinking of the retail shop floor and cashiers? But the company has business functions with professional roles within the company of 2M US workers.

Executive roles start at Director level titles:
So search Director, Sr. Director, VP. You’ll see these are 200-300K+ at Walmart.

I'm always surprised when I see people here in DCUM talking about making 200k+.

I always wonder... is this what you do? come to DCUM and post on a anonymous website? really?

Imagine a world WITHOUT people not making 80k plus?

Teachers, police officers, Admins, support staff, restaurant servers, Construction workers, Nannies, artists, librarians, Coaches, etc.

Teachers, firemen, cops all make a ton. They have second, third jobs.

If you are a 30 year old civil rights lawyer with NGOs or pro bono, it doesn't matter how accomplished, intelligent and hard working you are, you just won't earn as much as your buddies working for big law.

Stop being snobby people. This forum is fooling people. Be real ,rich people don’t spend their time posting nonsense like how much money they make. Here in this thread are some people who brag about money they don’t have or make. It’s anonymous and people can make lies and lies. Illusion . And of course early 30 can make $18 hour.

I just went to the Walmart page and did not assume everyone worked in the store. They did separate store managers from product managers, for example. Walmart has never been known as a generous company to work for.

Uncommon in a coast.

Even a retail or quick service food full time hours would net you $50k gross.

Now most people work that job up to $42k so they continue to get their welfare benefits as well. Then it’s back up to $60k w the federal and state welfare benies.

I mean sure. My husband is in his late 30s and makes 53K working for a non-profit.

People work at non-profits, NGOs, in fellowships, as postdocs. I was a postdoc from age 27-30 making 50K ~6 years ago.

78K is above the median even among people in their 30s. You're the exception, noy the rule.

For every F500 manager there are thousands of people who don't even work for a F500. What's your point?
