What's DH's industry?

This makes me laugh. 30 year old VP.

30 is actually quite old for VP in finance. It is not a senior title like in industry. If you are at all competitive you should hit that by 26 or 27, and be an ED by 30.

Registered nurse here. I work for federal government as a staff nurse in a specialty area and make $110K, I only have bachelor degree. Regular staff nurses don't make more than $100K anywhere really. I consider myself lucky to even make this much.

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.

That crisis comms job at 28 is INSANE. Would love to know where she works.

Yeah that's a real outlier. I wonder if the job is defending something indefensible.

agreed. Im not jealous of most of these salaries because I’d never want to do most of these jobs. 46 nonproft comms. I make $130k (actually a bit less but waiting for a little bump).

150k as a police officer, but that includes working double shifts twice a week.

I know it's the DC area, but lots of outliers IMOH. A teacher making over 200k and a real estate agent making a mil...crazy. Even the under 40 GS-15s is somewhat surprising. I used to work for a fed agency and I swear the average 15 had to be 70 yrs old.
