| Pretty much any middle manager at any grocery contractor will make this - assume anyone 35+ in Gov Con with any responsibilities at all makes this or more. |

Make sure you yell them that when you're dying on a plane and they're trying to help you |

| You say $150 in your subject so that is all GS-15s and GS-14 step 4 in the federal government. |

| not 200k, but DH and I both make just over 150k each. Fed and corporate management. When we started out 20 years ago, we both made 30k, so it's just a long time of climbing the ladder. We didn't start out making great salaries. |

many in finance have never made less than that.
i made that in my 2nd year in 2012. likewise big tech or big law. I recall the heuristic for engineers at facebook to start was like $100/$100/$100 (salary, bonus, stock) and that was a long time ago. I don't work in that field so i can't verify that. big law salaries are more or less public information. there was a bloomberg article yesterday about quant traders making $400K in first year out of school in sydney australia... a small % of people work hard/are smart enough AND have all the life advantages to get those jobs. But this is a big country and those folks cluster and concentrate in certain areas, including parts of the DMV so even if it's a small % of people nationally/globally, it can feel like EVERYONE makers that, when statistically that's obviously not true. |

As a journalist in my late 40s who makes about 60 percent of what your 28-year-old "crisis comms manager" pal does, I find this reply to be rather depressing. |
