What are jobs that pay more than 250k?

Hitting $250k in tech is fairly common in this area. You don’t start at that level, but a senior developer can easily hit $175-200k base 10 years out of college, and lead developers/management can make far more than that. When you add in bonus and stock, $250k is extremely achievable well before you’ve reached the middle of your career.

Of course, if you’re lumping all tech jobs together, like IT for a middle school, yeah tech doesn’t always pay so well.

DC is an expensive city. Like in all expensive cities, there are high paying jobs in nearly every single professional field.

This is the right answer. I work in communications/external affairs at an association and DH works as an engineer. Our HHI is 450K. If either of us received a promotion, we would surpass 500k.

Most people seem surprised that VPs/directors of things like customer experience or HR can get 250.

Agree with other posters. This can happen in any sector, but it takes management responsibility and typically leadership/executive level roles.
