When did you start making six figures?

[Anonymous]

I was 32. I went from being a government attorney making around 75K to $125k in a law firm. It was 1997. I left private practice and have basically topped off at $225-230k, but good benefits.

I'm a 31 y/o fed and will break 6 figures in two years with just step increases, sooner if I get a promotion.

I was 32, though in my field I will top out at about $150-175 so there isn't much more room for growth.

At 38 I went from $97k to 110 and now at 39 I'm making 116K.

Not many big law here. I lost sense of perception making 160k plus bonus at 26. Left work to be SAHM. Now back at it at 37 making 105k in govt (very different, low time commitment). I prefer 105 leave work at 4pm vs 160 stay all night.
